Use iconv on unix/linux to change encoding. If using Windows, install
cygwin first.

PostGIS is in UTF-8, the table is in WindowsLatin1. How do I change the
encoding? Is it just a matter of editting the tab file and changing the
string WindowsLatin1 with UTF-8?

Hello list,
I am trying to import a MapInfo table into postGIS using ogr2ogr. The
import fails with the message: invalid byte sequence for encoding
"UTF8": 0xe92057
It gives me a hint that I sould set something into client_encoding, but
is this ogr2ogr related or postGIS?
I had the same problem few days ago (importing shapefiles to GRASS
with postgresql). Change the encoding in the attribute tables to UTF-8
before importing, it helps. It's related to the given encoding of the
PostgreSQL/Postgis database where are You importing Your table.

Tomas
