Re: convert from latin1 to utf8

I needed both UTF8 and Latin-1. I accomplished this by initdb with the LOCALE set to C. That lets me create dbs "with template0 encoding='Latin-1'" as well as "encoding=UTF8," FWIW...

Subject: [ADMIN] convert from latin1 to utf8

I need to convert a bunch of my databases to utf8 before I can migrate them to postgresql 8.4. Is there a command that during the pg_dumpall process the encoding can be changed from latin1 to utf8?
 
This is the error I get when migrating the databases from 8.1 to a machine running 8.4
psql:pgdbs:215: ERROR:  encoding LATIN1 does not match locale en_US.UTF-8
DETAIL:  The chosen LC_CTYPE setting requires encoding UTF8.
 
Thanks
