Hi,

I think that an SRID is, in ways, comparable to an encoding (as in LATIN1 or
UTF8).
Our server stores everything in UTF8, but i can still communicate to it in
LATIN1.
Likewise we would like to store our geometries in WGS84, so that
international data can be stored, but we use our national grid for daily
operations.

Would it be a good idea to create an option that sets the client's SRID
('SET client_srid = 28992'), like in SET client_encoding = 'LATIN1'?

Cheers,

WBL
