If you want to use SQL_ASCII (ie, have no enforcement of encoding validity) the only really safe locale is "C". If you were using another combination with your old database and not having trouble, you may decide to ignore the warning and keep using that combination --- it'll work just as well or badly as before. But with what you have here, if you ever accidentally put any non-UTF8 data into the database, you'll likely get odd behavior. regards, tom lane
