[gdal-dev] PGCLIENTENCODING in ogr2ogr (and QGIS)

[Even Rouault]

Hi,

The thing is that there's no way in the vector format conversion tool of 
QGIS to specify pure environment variables (GDAL configuration options 
can be passed with --config key value, but PGCLIENTENCODING can't be 
specify that way). However it is possible to use the PRELUDE_STATEMENTS 
open option of the PostgreSQL driver, by adding (a bit abusively) in the 
additional creation option entry box:   -oo PRELUDE_STATEMENTS="SET 
client_encoding TO LATIN1"  (assuming that the need is to convert from 
PostgreSQL. )
