Hi, Today i need to load some mysql ( 5.1.58 ) tables dump in postgresql ( PG 9.2 ). I loaded few tables successfully but while loading one table i am facing below error : test=# copy jobs from '/tmp/test.csv' with DELIMITER AS ',' QUOTE '"' NULL AS '\N' ESCAPE E'\\' CSV; ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xc7 0x3c CONTEXT: COPY jobs, line 259 After some research , i think it is failing because Mysql table has character set latin1 format and PG9.2 has by deafult UTF-8 format. But don't understand how other tables got successfully loaded.
Probably because ASCII, Latin1 and UTF8 share the first 127 characters and your other tables did not have data that used characters above the first 127.
Below link
tells to use iconv : http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=942765 , but still the same error.
Might try test=#\encoding LATIN1 and then your copy command or use the ENCODING parameter to COPY: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/sql-copy.html
My doubt is in this table there is one MEDIUMBLOB that i used as BYTEA in postgresql. Is it was due to that or anyone fixed this issue earlier , plz update. Thanks
