我正在导入一个现有的rails项目，我正在工作到我的新arch linux系统，我已经安装了所有的gems和postgresql正确，但我有一些问题时运行:
rake db:create
我得到以下错误
PGError: ERROR: 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.
: CREATE DATABASE "System_test" ENCODING = 'unicode'
我用正确的编码手动创建了数据库，并且迁移工作得很好，但是我可以运行
rake db:test:clone
命令，因为它试图创建一个数据库，我不认为手动创建数据库。有人知道怎么解决这个问题吗?
的问候编辑:这里是我的数据库。yml

Couldn't create database for {"adapter"=>"postgresql", "encoding"=>"unicode", "database"=>"System_development", "pool"=>5, "username"=>"forellana", "password"=>nil}
要在Rails中解决这个问题，我发现您可以简单地将以下行添加到database.yml文件的每个部分(开发/生产等):
template: template0
参见ActiveRecord/ConnectionAdapters/PostgreSQL/schemastatstatements #create_database
这里的主要问题是你的模板数据库(template1)已经用ASCII编码创建，你告诉PostgreSQL用UTF8编码创建新的数据库。不用说，它对此并不特别高兴。你能做的是擦除你的template1数据库，并使用这些指令重新创建它。当您的主机提供商没有正确设置区域设置时，这也可能是一个问题。您可以阅读更多关于修复丢失的区域设置的信息。
我通过这篇关于在Ubuntu 9.10上修复PostgreSQL默认编码的文章找到了所有这些信息
您可以通过以下方式将postgres template1更改为UTF:
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
DROP DATABASE template1;
CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UNICODE';
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = TRUE WHERE datname = 'template1';
c template1
VACUUM FREEZE;
UPDATE pg_database SET datallowconn = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
与其他答案类似，我发现这个要点非常有帮助。使用Ubuntu 14.04。我想把默认模板改成使用UTF-8。
进入postgres提示符:
Activate the postgres console.
su - postgres
psql
然后输入以下命令:
# First, we need to drop template1. Templates can’t be dropped, so we first modify it so t’s an ordinary database:
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = FALSE WHERE datname = 'template1';
# Now we can drop it:
DROP DATABASE template1;
# Now its time to create database from template0, with a new default encoding:
CREATE DATABASE template1 WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UNICODE';
# Now modify template1 so it’s actually a template:
UPDATE pg_database SET datistemplate = TRUE WHERE datname = 'template1';
# Now switch to template1 and VACUUM FREEZE the template:
c template1
VACUUM FREEZE;
问题应该解决。credit to: https://gist.github.com/amolkhanorkar-webonise/8706915
添加
template: template0
