I have a database which was originally created with LATIN1 encoding. I'd like to move it to UTF8. The data will load ok (COPY) but I am getting 'invalid byte sequence for encoding..." messages when accessing the data. Is there a way to automatically convert the offending characters, or to easily locate them in a pg_dump file so they can be converted by hand?
