sql server generated “Text File” data importing in to postgressql using copy command

6 New Member
Hi

I have one text file generated using SQLServer 2005. While I am importing the text file into one of my PostgreSQL table using "copy" it is giving me the following error:

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

Can any one tell me what i need to do get the data from SQLServer 2005 to PostgreSQL?

Since 0xFF is an invalid UTF8 sequence, the file was encoded with a different character set. You will need to import using that character set.

Hello everyone, First I'll address this as a textfile manipulation question and if there is no answer there, then I'll need to ask it as a vb ADO question. I have a text file that I'm reading into a dataset, then looping thru the dataset and storing the field values to vars and then doing an 'INSERT INTO' an SQL Server table.
