Bug reference: 14739 Logged by: Fred BARROUD Email address: fbd@datasapiens.com PostgreSQL version: 9.6.1 Operating system: Windows 10 Description:
[...]
UPDATE T_UNIK SET ID = ID + 1;
I know that PG is unable to do this set based operation properly because it does it row by row (which is a nonsense since it works on many RDBMS)
If you setup deferred constraints and execute in a matching transaction mode the above will work just fine. For performance reasons it just doesn't work by default.
But the error message is strongly stupid : ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe9 0x71 0x75
I am doing this through PG Admin 4 (v 1.1)
Performing that in psql on 9.6.3 provokes the expected error message so either its a 9.6.1 problem (doubtful) and you should upgrade or its a pgAdmin 4 problem (not that doubtful unfortunately) and you should report it on their mailing lists. This list is intended for bugs in the server and the psql client. pgAdmin is a third-party project.
