Thread: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)

Dear all of you,

I'm currently working on a centos that I manage with webmin.
A sI try to create a DB with unicode encoding the following message is returned to me :

new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII)

After a little googling, I felt happy because the solution seems easy to create a new utf8 db :
createdb -E UTF8 -T template0 myDB

Unfortunately, I would like to create a default template database in UTF or accepting all others encoding.

Your help would be usefull,

Best regards,

Florent THOMAS

You could drop template1 (the default template database) and recreate it
from template0 with a utf-8 encoding.
