Subject: Migrate postgres databases from SQL_ASCII  to UNICODE encoding
Date: Sat, 17 Jul 2004 17:03:31 -0300
Message-ID: <40F98613.1060405@sistemat.com.ar> (raw)


A simple question, we need to migrate many (>20) postgres databases from 
SQL_ASCII encoding to UNICODE encoding, over a 7.3.6 server.

With  Dump/Restore , we get an error (Invalid Unicode) in any field that 
has a 8 bits character coming from the SQL_ASCII , even setting the 
client_encoding to WIN, ISO-8859-1,  and others encodings.

I'm really worried about this problem since , we have many DBs to 
migrate and even with a ODBC program we can't port tables from 
Postgresql/SQL_ASCII to Postgresql/UNICODE.

Any suggestion will be *very* appreciated.

Regards,
Dario.
