Hello,

I made a mistake an got a character set in SQL_ASCII as the defaut encoding type :

$ psql -l
         List of databases
    Name     |  Owner   | Encoding
--------------+----------+-----------
 cmp_crm      | openerp  | SQL_ASCII
 cmp_crm_demo | openerp  | SQL_ASCII
 cmp_testcrm  | openerp  | SQL_ASCII
 postgres     | postgres | SQL_ASCII
 template0    | postgres | SQL_ASCII
 template1    | postgres | SQL_ASCII
(6 rows)

I need to get them in UTF-8. ->
1) Can I modify these existing databases to switch them into UTF-8? How?
 
you can't modify the existing database encoding.
 
2) Can I modify the defaut character set to create further databases in UTF-8 by default?

 
 
you can change the default character set for new databases and use the below command for creation of new database with diff encoding.
 
 create database raghu template=template1 encoding='UTF-8';

Raghu Ram
