The encoding of the client can not be convertet to the encoding of the server.
In the manual in chapter 21.2 you can find the list of supported encodings and
possible conversions between them.
The conversion between latin1 and latin9 is not supported.
For a latin9 database you can use the client encoding latin9 or utf8 but not
latin1.
Best regards
