Admins,
I'm reading this post:

Is it possible and safe to run initdb again on a running database to
change encoding from SQL_ASCII to UTF8?
Will it affect new databases only or existing databases as well?
Pretty much guaranteed to be unsafe. It's also not possible unless you
hack initdb.

Thanks.
I guess then the next upgrade may be the best opportunity to change the
encoding.
