It may or may not be significant that 1629514106 = 0x6120697a = ASCII 'zi a' (or 'a iz' if you are on a big-endian machine). That looks at least a little bit plausible for Italian text, so I'm wondering if your disk drive or OS has hiccuped and dumped a sector or two of some other file into your database :-(. We've seen it happen before. Check the archives for past discussions about locating and recovering from corrupted data. regards, tom lane
