Hi, I have a database that was created with SQL-ASCII encoding (unfortunately). I ran pg_restore to load the struct and data into a new database with UTF-8 encoding but no surprise- I'm seeing this error for a number of tables: pg_restore: [archiver (db)] COPY failed: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encod ing "UTF8" Any idea on how I can copy the data between these databases without any data loss? For some reason I thought that a conversion to Unicode would be easy.
