Re: [ADMIN] invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf481 - how could this happen?

[Rural Hunter]

doesn't work either. db=# show client_encoding;  client_encoding -----------------  UTF8 (1 row) db=# set client_encoding='LATIN1'; SET db=# show client_encoding;  client_encoding -----------------  LATIN1 (1 row) db=# select to_tsvector(content) from tmp_article; ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf481 于 2012/4/14 10:15, raghu ram 写道: 2012/4/14 Rural Hunter <ruralhun...@gmail.com> My db is in utf-8, I have a row in my table say tmp_article and I wanted to generate ts_vector from the article content: select to_tsvector(content) from tmp_article; But I got this error: ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xf481 I am wondering how this could happen. I think if there was invalid UTF8 bytes in the content, it shouldn't have been able to inserted into the tmp_article table as I sometimes see similar errors when inserting records to tmp_article. Am I right? This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding". Try to set client_encoding='LATIN1'  and then execute  select to_tsvector(content) from tmp_article; -- Thanks & Regards, Raghu Ram EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com
