[MarkLogic Dev General] Re: XDBC creation / access

No, it means that the input encoding will not be detected automatically. 
 From http://developer.marklogic.com/svn/recordloader/trunk/README.html:

> INPUT_ENCODING UTF-8 The Java Charset encoding (codepage) to use for all
> input XML. If unset, RecordLoader will use null, which will default to
> the default Locale's character encoding.
> Note that MarkLogic Server must receive all XML as UTF-8, so the output
> encoding is always UTF-8.
> Example: if the input XML is encoded as windows-1252, use
> INPUT_ENCODING=Cp1252 to ensure correct conversion.
