COPY FROM with BYTEA fields - escaping doesn't work

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,
I'm trying to use the COPY .. FROM system with some data which includes binary values. They aren't large, but they include invalid UTF8 bytes, so I'm storing them into a BYTEA field.

However I get errors when I try to do this..


CREATE TABLE foo (id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, bar BYTEA);
COPY foo (bar) FROM STDIN;
Test\xff\x0\x9Again
\.

The error given is:
ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xff
CONTEXT:  COPY foo, line 1: "Test\xff\x0\x9Again"


As far as I can tell, I'm obeying the instructions about escaping here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-copy.html

I'm on version 9.1.5 of PostgreSQL.

Thanks,
Toby
