It doesn't matter. I have tried it with SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1, and with an 
installation on Solaris which doesn't have encodings ("psql -l" doesnt list 
the Encoding field).

Strange thing is, if I use the jdbc7.0-1.2.jar from 
http://jdbc.postgresql.org, the special characters work ok. But then I have 
the 8k statement limitation problem.

They're converted when I insert. I can insert the same characters directly 
into psql (into the same table) and it works ok (I can retrieve them without 
problems).  I can use LIBPQ apps (PHP, PGACCESS etc) and it works ok with all 
backends (running with encodings SQL_ASCII, ISO, etc)...
