Description:

Logical Decoding is not sensitive to Client character encoding setting

My project uses Logical Decoding by interacting with the WAL backend via
native non-SQL interface.
The plugin used is the common "test_decoding", which is shipped together
with the kit.
There is a Japanese database for which encoding is defined as ""EUC_JP".
Ordinarily - we process the streamed data in UTF8 client encoding - thus
maintaining a common general "consumer" functions.
Consequently, prior to issuing PQconnectdbParams(keywords, values, true) - a
{"client_encoding","UTF8"} couple is introduced.
To be on the safe side - a couple of PQclientEncoding(pConn) /
pg_encoding_to_char(iClientEncoding) is issued thereafter,
for approving that UTF8 was properly set.

Despite the above setting , data which is streamed in does not show up in
UTF8.
It preserves the backend server EUC_JP encoding.

This must be a bug.
One would expect that decoded data which is treamed in should be subjected
to client encoding.

Your assistance will be appreciated.

Hillel.
