Thread: postgres: writer process,what does this process actually do?
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.

This is the only and hence the best approach.
It doesn't have to be a new installation, a new database with
encoding UTF8 is enough.
