Обсуждение: pg_dumpall and convert from LATIN1 to UTF-8?

Hi Everyone,

I have used pg_dumpall on a database that was created with LATIN1
encoding and has a whole bunch of messy latin1 data in it.

I want to restore this data to a new db with UTF-8 encoding, with the
data converted so the 8859-1 characters display properly.

How should I go about doing this?

Thanks,

Joseph

try function convert (and check CREATE CONVERSION)

Pipe the dump through iconv.
