Re: user names & non-ASCII

Hello

this is not bug

you can try use a system variable PGCLIENTENCODING

bash-4.2$ PGCLIENTENCODING=3D'latin2' psql postgres
psql (9.1.1)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=3D# show client_encoding ;
 client_encoding
-----------------
 LATIN2
(1 row)

other way is connect with "only ascii" user name, changing encoding
and changin current role

SET role TO specialcharsrole;

Regards
