Is it possible to query the database system tables and get a list of
available database encodings?

i.e UTF8, LATIN2, SQL_ASCII ... etc.

I don't know what view or table to use.

Thanks for any help

Andrew

The pg_encoding_to_char() function might help you, eg

select pg_encoding_to_char(i) from generate_series(0,100) i;
