I am trying to load data into a rather simple table:
CREATE TABLE "public"."files" (
"id" SERIAL,
"idchar" CHAR(32) NOT NULL,
"content" BYTEA,
CONSTRAINT "files_pkey" PRIMARY KEY("id")
) WITHOUT OIDS;
with this command:
copy files (idchar, content) from '/data/1.dat' delimiter '|';
The database encoding is UTF-8.
Here is an example of the data file content:
0C2CCE6941194369B020000B616F1301|\xFF\xD8\xFF\xE0\x00\x10\x4A\x46\x49\x46\x00\x01
And I get this error:
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xff
The command
set client_encoding = 'SQL_ASCII';
Does not helps at all, the result is the same error message.
How can I turn off that annoying codepage checking during COPY FROM ?
Isn't it a bug ?
In my humble opinion, tt definitely should not check the encoding for columns of type bytea.
Cheers, R.G.
