ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x96

[ryansoc]

Can you assist in determining if this is a configuration problem or another issue?

I'm receiving the following error (PGNP-SE-1.4.3076):

Could you send us the table DDL, and a sample row(s) that reproduces the error?

I suspect that there might be a bug in the data encoding...

[ryansoc]

From that error, is there a way to determine what row it's failing on?

[ryansoc]

So I changed the source to be a view limiting the row count...at 1000 rows it fails...at 999 it succeeds...so I tweaked the view to exclude the last row and it still fails at 1000.

I disabled that particular DataFlow item in the DTSX and notice fails in other DataFlows...all at the 1000th row...

Some Data Flow's with tables larger than 1000 rows seem to work fine...now trying to see what the similarities are in the failing tables.

[ryansoc]

On the tables that fail...it always occurs at the same row number as set in the BULK_INSERT value of the connection string. If it's set at 1000 it fails at the 1000th row..if it's set at 500 it fails at the 500th row.

[Moderator]

Would you send the table DDL?

[ryansoc]

I just sent the DDL for one of the tables that's failing.

I found if I change the connection string to BULK_INSERT=0 it succeeds.

Thank you for the DDL. We will try to fix the bug, and will update this thread.
