How do I fix that? Well then you need to figure out what encoding those non-ASCII characters actually are and set the client encoding to that. Trying LATIN1 might be a good start, but if you users/applications have inserted random bytes then you will have to sort it out by hand. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/
