Description:
------------
It would be nice to have some method to change client encoding in PostgreSQL - for example: I have database in LATIN2 (and default client_encoding is set to LATIN2 for this connection), but I want to retrieve data in UNICODE.

Test script:
---------------
Sample code to patch pgsql.php :

function setClientEncoding($encoding)
{
@pg_set_client_encoding($this->connection, $encoding);
}

function getClientEncoding()
{
return @pg_client_encoding($this->connection);
}

Actual result:
--------------
Actually client encoding is set to default value, the same as database have.
