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).
