I just tested my theory that there may be garbage characters in your query string tripping the encoding error before a parse error: postgres=> \i /usr/bin/at psql:/usr/bin/at:15: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x80 (/usr/bin/at is a UNIX command executable, for this case it works as binary data) Alban Hertroys -- If you can't see the forest for the trees, cut the trees and you'll find there is no forest. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
