Hellou all
 
i have a problem to convert data from utf8 to ascii. My localization is slovakia and we use characters like
'á é š ť' and so on. But many times it is the same if u use 'á' or 'a'. Som I need to translate theese special characters. Somebody told me to use function to_ascii() but this function throws me an error : not supported encoding to ascii.
 
OS  : debian
PostgreSQL : 8.1.3
configured with --enable-multibyte=UTF8
 
please help
thanx
