I did that and it did not work. On the .net driver I had to do it on the connect string.
I also just tested latin and see the lower and upper do not work on the French chars, while upper and lower do work on the French chars on a Unicode database. So the problem is getting the odbc driver to work with Unicode. Worst case I will just use SQL_ASCHII, I am guessing the ODBC driver does not have a encoding command like the .net one does.

Try SET client_encoding TO 'UNICODE'; http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-set.html But it should default to the database encoding, so I'm not sure if that is the problem.
