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?
Try using 'iconv' for your dump file and convert it all to UTF8 first before restoring to a UTF8 database.
