Thread: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92
Hi,
I am using postgres 8.2.3. I have recently converted my database from
sql-ascii to UTF8. I have a portal which calls a perl program to insert the
data into the database.
While inserting, I am getting an error message
DBD::Pg::st execute failed: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding
"UTF8": 0x92
[for Statement "INSERT INTO longdescs (bug_id, who, bug_when, thetext,
isprivate)
How can I set the client encoding in perl. Can somebody help me?
Regards
skarthi

The data is apparently not UTF-8 so client_encoding needs to be set to something else. 0x92 is a hint that the encoding might be Windows-1252 or Windows-1250 since that byte represents the right single quotation mark in those encodings; that's a common character in data that originated in Windows. Also, client_encoding can be set by the client without having to restart the backend. -- Michael Fuhr
Hi,
Our database is growing fast. I want to create a cronjob that should
tell me what is the current size of the database on each day.
How can I find this from the database? Is there any pre-written scripts
written by somebody to share?
Regards
skarthi

Hi everybody,
Is there a way to see from the log files on what sql statement is
currently by which user? In other words, I want to monitor the DB activity.
How can I find it?

Hi,
there is an administrative function called pg_database_size(name), as in
SELECT pg_database_size('mydb'); which returns the disk space used by
the database with the specified name.
See Chapter 9.20.
cheers,
