Обсуждение: Change empty database from ASCII to UTF-8 encoded
I've just noticed my "postgres" database is encoded in ASCII. Is there any way to convert it to UTF-8? Is there any negative consequence to dropping the database and recreating it? Like are there special hidden tables or functions in there?
Thanks

AFAIK you can't convert it - you have to drop and recreate it. There's nothing special about the postgres database; it's just there to provide an initial connection point, so there'll be nothing in it unless you put it there.

If it's not important, I'll just drop and re-create it. :)
