This results in problems such as: dbname=# select * from tname; ERROR: character 0xc487 of encoding "UTF8" has no equivalent in "LATIN1" dbname=# set client_encoding to 'UTF8'; SET dbname=# select * from tname; ... All databases in postgresql are created by default in UTF8 (or UTF-8 whatever is more appropriate) so the client should also have the same default setting.
