Each connection can set the encoding to whatever they like. Something I
find useful is to setup the DB as UTF-8 but then do:

ALTER DATABASE foo SET client_encoding = latin9;

which sets the default for the DB, or

ALTER USER bar SET client_encoding = latin9;

Which lets you set the defauts for each user. This means that old
scripts can work unchanged but newer scripts can choose UTF-8 if they
want it.

Have a nice day,
