Hallo, I don't know if the problem has been reported yet, but it seems to have more implications.
- Prerequisite: o PostgreSQL 8.1.4 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC cc (GCC) 4.0.4 20060507 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.3-3) o and psql o A database which was created with -E UTF8 - Description: If i log in into that database (client encoding is also in UTF8) a lot of "\"-commands are not accepted and the error message says "invalid byte sequence for UTF8...." - Original output: test=> \d FEHLER: ungültige Byte-Sequenz für Kodierung »UTF8«: 0xfc6d6572220a test=> \q Same error message is in the log file -Implications? There are also problems in this field, if I try to add a constraint for a primary key from inside of another programming language with the same error message! So it could be a problem from PostqreSQL not from psql. HTH to find the problem Bye rolf ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
