Thread: oidin error when parsing XML documents

Hi,

I am currently trying to set up postgresql as a relational backend data
storage to the eXist-0.8.1 XML-DB.  I am getting an error after most of the
data has been written into the db and is as follows.

 java.sql.SQLException: ERROR:  oidin: error in
"\000\000\000\000\000\000\030\365": can't parse
"\000\000\000\000\000\000\030\365"

 Has anyone seen a similar error, and what could be causing it?

 Cheers

 Simon

This looks like data intended for a bytea column is being sent to an oid
column instead.  Maybe some confusion about what datatype to be used for
binary data?

You'd probably get more useful help on the pgsql-jdbc list.  There is
a relevant-looking thread at
