The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 19406
Logged by: SATŌ Kentarō
Email address: ranvis(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 15.16
Operating system: Linux 5.14.0-611.27.1.el9_7.x86_64
Description:
After upgrading from PostgreSQL 15.15 to 15.16, substring(text) raises:
>ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe6 0x97
on valid UTF-8 text stored in a TOAST-compressed column.
The same SQL works on PostgreSQL 15.15.
The data is valid UTF-8. The problem occurs only when operating on a
TOAST-compressed value.
Steps to Reproduce:
$ psql
psql (15.16)
Type "help" for help.
user=> \x
Expanded display is on.
user=> \set VERBOSITY verbose
user=> create table toast_repro (data text);
CREATE TABLE
user=> insert into toast_repro select repeat('日向', 2000); -- e6 97 a5 e5 90
91
INSERT 0 1
user=> select pg_column_size(data), octet_length(data) from toast_repro;
-[ RECORD 1 ]--+------
pg_column_size | 153
octet_length | 12000
user=> select substring(data from 1 for 2) from toast_repro;
-[ RECORD 1 ]---
substring | 日向
user=> select substring(data from 1 for 1) from toast_repro;
ERROR: 22021: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xe6 0x97
LOCATION: report_invalid_encoding_int, mbutils.c:1796
user=> select substring('日向' from 1 for 1);
-[ RECORD 1 ]-
substring | 日
user=> select substring(data::varchar(100) from 1 for 1) from toast_repro;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-
substring | 日
user=> select substring(data from 1 for 1) from ( select data || '' as data
from toast_repro) t;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-
substring | 日
