The old rows are still displayed in a bad format, the newly inserted one
is instead shown rightly. Also data in pg_dump present wrong strings,
thus any suggestion about how to reconvert already inserted data?
Moreover, the set client_encoding change is permanent or do I have to
configure it in the postgresql.conf file?
