libpq has a PQclientEncoding() function that takes a connection object. However, the client encoding is, in some cases, a property of the result object. For instance, if your client_encoding changes, but you keep the result object around, you have no way to determine later what encoding the results are in.
The result object already saves the client_encoding. Should an accessor be provided? Regards, Jeff Davis -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
