Thread: Re: Is it a bug ?
Hi Pascal,
If this is a bug in 7.3, and it’s not in later versions, I doubt the developers will be in any hurry to fix it, I don’t know – maybe someone knows a quick patch fix, or if it was fixed in a later version of the 7.3 series – as that would only be a minor upgrade (e.g. 7.3.2 to 7.3.8 or something), and it wouldn’t cause you much downtime.

Hi Andy
Actually no…
I just tried it on Postgres 8.0.4 and there is no problem
But is there no solution for the 7.3.0 version?
Because we haven’t upgraded our servers yet…
Thx for your quick reply

Hi Pascal,
7.3 is now quite out-dated – have you tried the latest release, 8.1.3, to see if the problem is still present?

Hi,
I just noticed a bug in PostgreSQL 7.3.2
I don't know if it exists in other versions
If I have a UNICODE database and I make the following query
SELECT * FROM table where code like 'abcz%';
Or
SELECT * FROM table where code like 'abcz_';
(or anything that ends with z% or z_)
It gives the following error :
ERROR: Invalid UNICODE character sequence found (0xc000)
Other queries like
SELECT * FROM table where code ilike 'abcz%';
SELECT * FROM table where code like '%abcz%';
Or the same query but in an SQL_ASCII database don’t give the same error
Is it a bug in Postgres ????
I’d appreciate an explanation
Thx
Pascal

The 7.3.6 release notes say Avoid generating invalid character encoding sequences in corner cases when planning LIKE operations This is far from the most important reason why you shouldn't be running 7.3.2 anymore though. There are quite a lot of security and data-loss risks fixed in the 7.3 release series. See release notes at http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/release.html regards, tom lane
