Hi,

here is the problem:

Using the command line, I can't change the client encoding, but I can change
it using the "\encoding" command :

C:\>psql --variable=3DENCODING=3DUTF8
could not find a "psql" to execute
could not find a "psql" to execute
psql (9.1.2)
WARNING: Console code page (850) differs from Windows code page (1252)
         8-bit characters might not work correctly. See psql reference
         page "Notes for Windows users" for details.
Type "help" for help.

postgres=3D# \encoding
WIN1252
postgres=3D# \echo :ENCODING
WIN1252
postgres=3D# \encoding UTF8
postgres=3D# \encoding
UTF8
postgres=3D# \echo :ENCODING
UTF8
postgres=3D# \q
