Hello,
I'm sure you already replied tons of questions like this, but I don't
understand something.
This is the situation :
* I have COPY commands from a dump, encoded as UTF8 (special characters
are encoded as 2-bytes).
* My file contains SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';
* But when I do psql <myfile.sql I get an error for 40 characters long
strings that have UTF8 characters : ERROR: value too long for type
character varying(40)
* I think I understand why, psql -l says that my database is SQL_ASCII
* Postgresql 7.4
Question 1 :
Is it the expected behavior ? These characters have a SQL_ASCII
equivalent because I already have them stored in another table of the
same database
Question 2 :
If yes, then I suppose I should have the database as LATIN1 or UTF8.
Can I change/convert the encoding of the database ? Or at least of the
schema (which would be even better)
Thanks a lot for any help :-)))
Denis
