Hello,
With this patch I've done an attempt to make the handling of character
encoding in the JDBC driver a little clearer.
* Cleans up the logic to select a JVM encoding for a backend encoding.
* Makes the connection setup code easier to read.
* Gathers character encoding and decoding in a single place.
* Adds unit tests for encoding.
* Introduces a new class, org.postgresql.core.Encoding, and the
corresponding unit test class, org.postgresql.test.jdbc2.EncodingTest.
It shouldn't change the external behavior of the driver.
/Anders
