The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference: 2084
Logged by:
Email address: S.Kozanis@itia.ntua.gr
PostgreSQL version: 8.0.1
Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
Description: Add WIN1253 to CLIENT_ENCODING encodings
Details:

This encoding (WIN1253) is essential for Windows database application in
order to display correctly string in Greek language.

Alternatively we are using the iso encoding (ISO_8859_7) that does not
display correctly some characters in Microsoft Windows enviroments (that is
the accented capital Alpha, and some others characters).

TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

We will need someone to add this encoding. Right now I don't know
anyone working on it.

Thank you for your attention,

For your convenience, I send you two charts describing
the two (almost similar) encodings in order to use them
when someone works on this bug.

http://www.fileformat.info/info/char...-1253/grid.htm
http://www.fileformat.info/info/char...859-7/grid.htm

The only difference in local symbols between the two
encodings is on the Greek accented capital "A"
(looks like 'A).

Other (non local) win1253 symbols inherit from the
standard win1252 (Latin) encoding.

Thanking you,

Stefanos Kozanis

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Oh, forgot again. These emails are too old for my memory, it seems.
