[Gllug] PostgreSQL 7.3 / UNICODE database / BYTEA

[Richard Jones]

I wonder if anyone on this list is using PostgreSQL 7.3 with UNICODE
encoded databases.  I have a small test program which reliably hangs
when I put certain data into a BYTEA column, and I wonder if anyone
would be willing to try and duplicate it to see if this is a real
problem.

It's as simple as creating a temporary table, inserting some data and
then running psql to select out the data.  On my machine psql spins in
a loop forever - only on certain types of data, I'm not sure what the
exact pattern of data is, but I have a few entries in a current
database which reliably trigger the issue.

Also .. I need to know if upgrading to 7.4 (also with a UNICODE
database) would fix the problem.

Rich.
