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:
psql:/mnt/dbmail:191030: FEHLER: ungültige Byte-Sequenz für
Kodierung »UTF8«: 0xdc62
TIP: Dieser Fehler kann auch auftreten, wenn die Bytesequenz nicht mit
der Kodierung übereinstimmt, die der Server erwartet, welche
durch »client_encoding« bestimmt wird.
(How could I tell postfix to speak with me in english?)
Now what would be the correct way to convert, without destroying any of
the DB contents? There are e-mails there, so binary values are
important, too.
mfg zmi
