I've used slony in the past to migrate from 7.4 to 8.0, and i plan on  
using it to migrate from 8.0 to 8.1 once the 8.1 issues with slony  
get hammered out.   Additionally, though, I'm curious if slony can be  
used to migrate from one database encoding to another.  We are  
currently ready to migrate our database and applications from Latin1  
encoding to UTF8 encoding.  Is this something slony supports?  Are  
there caveats that I should be aware of?  I can run pg_dump with -- 
encoding=UTF8 on my Latin1 database and load it successfully into my  
UTF8 database and have the 8bit Latin1 characters correctly converted  
into ther UTF8 counterparts.

Thanks for any advice
