Do you have documentation for N'...' literal in SQLServer?
Does it mean unicode literal? What is the difference from U& literal?
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/sql-syntax-lexical.html
PostgreSQL doesn't have nvarchar types (UTF16 in MSSQL), and only
have mutlti-tyte characters. So I think you can remove N and just
use "SET client_encoding = UTF8" in the cases.
