suggestion for "psql"

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Hi there,

I haven't found a way to set the client encoding of a psql connection other
then "\encoding" which is arkward for batch processing. As .psqlrc is being
ignored during batch processing and the internal encoding is being set
*after* "-v", I have to resort to arkward solutions in order to read data via
scripts. (To whom it may concern: instead of using "-c" you can pipe your
command from stdin).

Shouldn't psql honour the current locale setting (LC_CTYPE) or/and have a
command line option to set the encoding?

Mit freundlichem Gruß / With kind regards
