I fought with this for a few days. The solution is to dump the database and create a new database with the correct encoding.

I have a demo database for those interested Cheers Tony Grant -- RedHat Linux on Sony Vaio C1XD/S http://www.animaproductions.com/linux2.html Ultradev and PostgreSQL http://www.animaproductions.com/ultra.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
