How many lines has the file? Maybe line 377617 is the last one.

If so, you can just remove the last line containing this 0x00. The following command can do this for you:

sed -i '$ d' /outputfile.csv

May I remark that having a file in the / directory is a bit awkward? This directory should not be writable by any user (except root, and root doesn't fiddle with files for a database).

Hello

How do i get past the error below. I have created a foreign table which points to a csv file and when i try to create another table it gives error below

The csv file has funny characters, how do i bypass those characters.

create foreign table table1
(
id int,
name text
)
SERVER local_file
OPTIONS (filename '/outputfile.csv' ,
format 'csv',
header 'TRUE',
delimiter ';'
);


create table2 as select * from table1;

ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
