Hello all, I somehow managed to stuff up the encoding (or locale or something) in a transfer of a database from one machine to another (also different linux distribution). The problem is this: the origional database was created and populated with data using whatever default locale/encoding was installed on the first machine. Words would appear correctly, as in: Hoë After dumping the database and restoring on a different one, the word incorrectly appears as: Hoë Before I do any more damage or waste time, I'd appreciate any ideas or pointers on correctly performing the initdb -E<encoding> --locale=<locale>... (or any other ideas on resolving this issue) , before I try and restore the data again. Thanks henk
