If you're certain that the data already in the database is in EUC_JP
encoding, it would probably work to do a quick UPDATE on the
pg_database.encoding entry for the database (and then start fresh
backend sessions, since they won't notice otherwise). If there's data in
there that is not correct per EUC_JP then this will create big problems,
so don't say I didn't warn you ...
