Hi,
the msi installer for Windows automatically creates a user 'postgres' if
CREATESERVICEUSER=1. Is it possible to do the following:
1) don't create the user, if it already exists, and continue with
installation, instead of showing the error message 'user postgres already
exists'.
2) during

Dear list,
how would I convert an existing database (dbmail mail server,
http://dbmail.org/) from SQL_ASCII to UTF-8?
I cannot just dump and reload, because:

Hello from Paris
I am DBA for Oracle and beginner on Postgres. For an company in France, I

Aside from the Wikipedia database comparison, I'm not aware of any

It's even harder, as Oracle disallows publishing benchmark figures in
their license. As a cynic, I might ask, what Oracle is fearing?

There is no general answer to the question. It highly depends on how the data
was entered.
SQL_ASCII is not an encoding but more the absence of any encoding. So whatever
