RE: [INTERFACES] JDBC: Default encoding problem

It would be a bad idea to modify PG_Stream, as this will affect the
LargeObject support which must be kept binary.

Also, what version of the driver are you using, as there has been a lot
of changes recently.

Subject: [INTERFACES] JDBC: Default encoding problem

I've noticed crossplatform problem using encoding in JDBC interface.

I want to use ISO8859-2 characters in my database and accessing from
java interface in Windows and Linux.

Default encoding in Linux is - ISO8859-2 but in Windows CP1250 and
during transmission via Input/OutputStream some localized characters are
truncated to '?'.

I've hacked a little JDBC inteface and my proposition is to change in
PG_Stream.java:
1. use InputStreamReader except InputStream
2. use BufferedWriter except BufferedOutputStream
