Thread: Temporarily disable strict UTF-8 checking
Hello List, After upgrading to 8.1 we've been having problems with input data having invalid byte sequences. There are some data that we need to input at the moment and it would be helpful to *temporarily* disable this setting while our developers try to sort out some filtering mechanism at the application level to strip these invalid byte sequences. Best regards, Matt -- Stand before it and there is no beginning. Follow it and there is no end. Stay with the ancient Tao, Move with the present.

You could set the database encoding to SQL_ASCII, if you want to lobotomize the encoding-related functionality. regards, tom lane
