Hi,

I'm using PostgreSQL 8.2 and my production server is based on CentOS release
5.2 (Final).

JDBC Jar: postgresql-8.2-508.jdbc4.jar

I noticed from my server log that some INSERT statements are failing with
"invalid message format" PSQLException.  Once this exception is thrown, it
is not committed to the database.  What could be the reason for this?

EXCEPTION
org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: invalid message format

STACKTRACE
org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.receiveErrorResponse(QueryExecutorI
mpl.java:1592)
org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.processResults(QueryExecutorImpl.ja

length or message content for the frontend/backend protocol"
	But how do I resolve this issue?

Even though I don't have much idea on encoding, I have a little doubt on
whether encoding is a problem.

Hi,

Because there was no response for this question already posted in
pgsql-jdbc@postgresql.org mailing list, I'm posting it here.

whether encoding is a problem.

Here is my database encoding:
mydb=# \l
              List of databases
         Name         |  Owner   | Encoding
----------------------+----------+-----------
 mydb                 | zoniac   | SQL_ASCII

Any pointers in right direction are appreciated.

I'm sure most will urge you to move to UTF-8 encoding asap.

Have you tracked down the "offending" insert statement?  Perhaps it's a
trigger trying to generate a log message?

Hi Rob,

Did you mean the database encoding to changed from SQL_ASCII to UTF-8?

> Have you tracked down the "offending" insert statement?  Perhaps it's a
> trigger trying to generate a log message?
No, I don't have any trigger on this table for INS/UPD/DEL.

Yes.  That's pretty much the standard now.  I think it's Postgres'
default installation now (but don't quote me on that).

I think you'll need to track down example of inserts which are causing
the problem.
