psqlODBC tries to do it automatically for you. If you want see what
client_encoding is used enable mylog output and there is called
set client_encoding in the relative begin of mylog.

The psqlODBC has strange behaviour. It set automatic client_encoding
_after_ user defined connection settings. So you could change the
client encoding only from application. You could call
set client_encoding SQL statement.
