Convert a database in the SQL_ASCII format into one of the UTF-8 format::
template1=# create database test with encoding='SQL_ASCII';
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# \connect test
You are now connected to database "test".
test=# create table a (x text);
CREATE TABLE
test=# insert into a values ('');
test=# select * from a;
x
--
(1 row)
*test=# update pg_database set encoding =*
*pg_catalog.pg_char_to_encoding('UTF8') where datname='test';*
UPDATE 1
test=# select * from a;
x
--
(1 row)
test=# \connect template1
You are now connected to database "template1".
template1=# \connect test
You are now connected to database "test".
test=# select * from a;
x
--
(1 row)
