How to change PostgreSQL database encoding to UTF8

  The default encoding of the template databases in PostgreSQL is set to SQL_ASCII. If this encoding has not been changed, then the new databases will be created using this template and hence will have the same encoding SQL_ASCII. Overall this should not be a big problem unless Unicode data is required to be saved in the database. In that case you will receive an error such as : Unicode escape values cannot be used for code point values above 007F when the server encoding is not UTF8. In this blog, we will go through all steps in order to change the encoding of the database to UTF8. First of all one needs to know that encoding of already created database cannot be altered.

Secondly, Unix was commercial, and the BSDs were tied up in court when Linux rose to power. Price.  Linux systems are free. A company can grab a Linux variant and have an industrial strength server for free. Sure, they can get support and such if they pay - but the fact is many companies let support go. Marketshare.  Back in the 80s there was a slogan:  No one has ever been fired for buying IBM.  That sentiment now extends to Linux. The lawsuit that embroiled Unix did a huge amount of damage to Unix in the marketplace and Linux filled the void. Security.  Linux was desi...
