I am trying to remove accents from a string. I found a nice solution for this on postgresqlfr, using the to_ascii() function.

Now, the problem I have is :

mydb=# SELECT to_ascii(convert('abcdef', 'LATIN9'));
ERROR:  encoding conversion from UTF8 to ASCII not supported

Why is the conversion to LATIN9 not working as expected ?
My database's encoding is UTF8.

Maybe you actually want to

test=> select to_ascii(convert('ábcdêf', 'LATIN9'), 'LATIN9');
to_ascii ----------
 abcdef
(1 row)

Indeed !!!
Thanks a lot !
I suppose that not giving the encoding to 'to_ascii' defaulted to the database encoding ? Sorry for this mistake, I did not realize that this setting existed for the to_ascii function...

Thanks again !
