Re: ERROR: translation failed from server encoding to wchar_t

Found something interesting with this testcase.
update fails after SELECT query.
Can anyone confirm this ???

dbname=> UPDATE dbmail_messageblks SET idxFTI=to_tsvector('simple',
encode(messageblk, 'escape')) where messageblk_idnr = 12949;
UPDATE 1
dbname=> UPDATE dbmail_messageblks SET idxFTI=to_tsvector('simple',
encode(messageblk, 'escape')) where messageblk_idnr = 12949;
UPDATE 1
dbname=> select * from dbmail_messageblks where messageblk_idnr =
12949;
messageblk_idnr | physmessage_id
|
messageblk
| blocksize | is_header |
idxfti
