Re: PostgreSQL and character set change - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi all,
We have a PostgreSQL server with ASCII data.  We have a requirement for the db to support UTF also. Which is the best approach -
1) Make a new installation, move data
2) There is some way of doing an 'in-place' conversion and changing the character set of the existing installation
Please do provide some information on how to do this.
