Hello,

it seems ( for quite some time now ) that PostgreSQL is using the -c option of iconv when exporting data to a different encoding:

http://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/libiconv/documentation/libiconv-1.13/iconv.1.html

- e.g. the Euro sign is removed when exporting LATIN1 databases to UTF8.

I'm not sure, but in the past it was different and those characters caused error messages instead.

So I wonder since when incompatible characters are removed?

Could someone tell me, please?

Thank you very much!

Peter
