Hi, I have posted a question about this same issue on JDBC thinking it is a driver issue. I was told this error is generated by the back-end itself rather than by the driver so posting the question in admin forum. See discussion on this here http://www.postgresql.org/list/pgsql-jdbc/since/201508080000/ I am currently running 9.1.9 and trying to upgrade to 9.4. I have done a dump and restore, when I start my java application I am getting the below error. The server uses SQL_ASCII encoding and the client encoding is UTF8. There are some invalid characters in the database but this has not caused a problem in the current version or 9.3 (tried a restore in 9.3 and the application works fine). ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92 STATEMENT: SELECT * FROM client_data WHERE status_code = 0 ORDER BY client_name, description org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92 > at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.receiveErrorResponse(QueryExecutorImpl.java:2270) > at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.processResults(QueryExecutorImpl.java:1998) > at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:255) > at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.execute(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:570) > at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeWithFlags(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:420) > at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeQuery(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:305) > at com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl.execute(JdbcRowSetImpl.java:567) Same error with postgresql-9.4-1201.jdbc4.jar & postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar.
