Hi Hackers,

PFA the updated patch on this. I have tried to add test cases to check for different encoding database. In the test run, it will create a database, fire a query for a string, check if we get the output and drops the database.

Kindly review.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Aditya,

It looks ok and it passes CI.

We have some recommendations:

- These look like 2 different changes so they should be in separated commits

 

If you are talking of set client_encoding, then its not a bug. Its a choice given to Postgres DB user to change the encoding of the characters. Postgres will translate characters from Server Encoding to Client Encoding, and will throw error like mentioned previously. This link will help better - https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/multibyte.html

The actual bug was, even after changing the client encoding to SQL_ASCII, pgAdmin4 was not able to show the output as it was failing in encoding by psycopg2. The patch is for resolving that.

 

- Do we have test coverage for the bug that you are talking about? If not we should, to ensure this problem does not happen again in a future change.

It is not possible adding test cases for encoding related stuff, as Postgres support a lot many different types of encoding and conversions (refer above link) 

I was going to ask the same thing. Per https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/multibyte.html#id-1.6.10.5.7, every characterset except SQL_ASCII can be converted to UTF-8, so we only need to test that UTF-8 and some other charactersets besides SQL_ASCII work, and then separately that SQL_ASCII with characters known not to be in UTF-8 work.

 

Thanks

Hi Hackers,

PFA updated patch after all the permutations, combinations for encoding for SQL_ASCII database.  Also fixed a small glitch for sql editor connection status check.

Please note, ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe9 0x73 is a Postgres DB error and not pgAdmin4 error.

You need to change client_encoding to the appropriate. After changing client_encoding using command - set client_encoding='XYZ', it will give not give error.

Hi Aditya,

We made a minor change to make the patch so the python linter can pass.  Attached is the change we made.

Everything else looks good.

Sincerely,

Hi,

PFA updated patch. Linter issues are fixed ( we dont have any linter setup for python :-( )

Regarding test cases, they run successfully on my system and the reason it failed for pivotal is timeout exception. I am sorry I can't help with that.

Hi Hackers,

PFA patch for RM#3289 where decode error was thrown on querying a SQL_ASCII database table. Please note, this problem occurs only on windows.

Sample insert - insert into test_tab values ('é');

psycopg2 has a encodings dictionary where Postgres Database Encodings are mapped to python equivalent. It uses 'ascii' decoder of python to decode for SQL_ASCII encoding. If data has characters beyond the limit of ascii then it failed. The solution would be to use utf_8 decoder instead of ascii. I tried setting the client_encoding using set_client_encoding('UTF8') method of a psycopg2 connection but no luck (also its not allowed for async connection). I also tried executing "SET CLIENT_ENCODING='UTF8'" but it didn't work too.

So, as in the patch, I had to set encodings dict value directly to 'utf_8' and it seems to be working. Please note, the same is added to psycopg3 milestones

https://github.com/psycopg/psycopg2/milestone/4

Also fixed a small glitch for sql editor connection status check.

Kindly review.

Thanks and Regards,
