Hello all,
In postgresql 9.3 using pgAdmin, I created a table for my application
developed in Qt Creator.
the table contains:
idstudent - pk
name
country
town
street
I would like to import a csv file containing all the info about these
students. The file was saved/encoded in excel with UTF8 characters.
When I'm importing my file in psql, using the encoding UTF8, I receive the
following error for each character not recognized:
"error: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": ... " followed by the
character code
I tried to import the file using SQL_ASCII, I got similar errors.
I tried to import the file using MULE_INTERNAL and it worked, but the
characters not recognized are not shown correct in pdAdmin and in my
application when query is executed. For example after I imported the file
with LATIN1 all unrecognized characters were replaced with "?".
Any suggestion what encoding shall I use to display the characters
correctly?
note: the student's names and addresses are written using characters from
North Europe, Eastern EU, Russia, South America, Asia, etc. everywhere.
Thank you for your input.

I had a similar problem. Try different encodings like this command:
set client_encoding to 'LATIN1';
Then:
COPY filename
FROM 'file/path/filename.csv'
WITH DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;

You specified UTF8 when creating the CSV file?

Might want to take a look at this tool:
