Re: user names & non-ASCII

PGCLIENTENCODING='latin2' - doesn't help (SetEnvironmentVariable)
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO - doesn't help (too late)
connect with "only ascii" not possible (users are set)
SET role TO specialcharsrole? google doesn't know
On servers we have 8.4.7 not 9.1.1
In manual is PQconnectdb() with options="client_encoding =..." doesn't work

Hello

this is not bug

you can try use a system variable PGCLIENTENCODING

bash-4.2$ PGCLIENTENCODING='latin2' psql postgres psql (9.1.1) Type "help" for help.

postgres=# show client_encoding ;
client_encoding
-----------------
LATIN2
(1 row)

other way is connect with "only ascii" user name, changing encoding and changin current role

SET role TO specialcharsrole;
