[postgis-users] SET client_srid = x

[Paul Ramsey]

I wonder how client_srid is supposed to handle operations prior to
transport? If I do a buffer() before sending the geometry back, is it
done in the storage srid or the client srid?

I wonder how client_encoding does it... does it sort in UTF and send
back in the client encoding?
