Configuration issue: On some postgresql 8.4 installations (notably on debian squeeze) the default template database used for database creation doesn't match the needed character encoding UTF8 -- a new config option 'template' in the rdbms section now allows specification of the template. You know you need this option if you get the error message: psycopg2.DataError: new encoding (UTF8) is incompatible with the encoding of the template database (SQL_ASCII) HINT: Use the same encoding as in the template database, or use template0 as template.
