Re: 8.0.0beta4: "copy" and "client_encoding"

Thanks Kris and Oliver for your explanations.

Why I want to set the client_encoding to latin1? That's a fair
question. Unfortunately I removed the statement following the COPY
command to keep the posting short:

   SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'LATIN1';
   COPY temp_test FROM '/home/postgres/temp_test.dat';

I want to load a latin1-encoded file using the COPY command. Not
setting the encoding leads to the following error message:

   22021
   ERROR: Unicode characters greater than or equal to 0x10000 are
   not supported

Executing the same COPY statement with psql works fine.

Cheers,
Adrian
