When trying copy S3 file to Redshift, we're facing the error as follows;
Missing newline: Unexpected character 0x22 found at location 2
0x22 means double quotations, since target data contains "," in some column like 'NO,123456', so we quote each columns by double quotations in exported csv file.
And run the copy command like this;
-- copy command
copy <target_table_name> from 's3://s3-bucket-name'
iam_role 'arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' REGION 'ap-northeast-1'
REMOVEQUOTES
ESCAPE
DATEFORMAT 'auto'
TIMEFORMAT 'auto'
DELIMITER ','
ACCEPTINVCHARS '?'
COMPUPDATE TRUE
STATUPDATE TRUE
TRUNCATECOLUMNS
EMPTYASNULL
EXPLICIT_IDS
ENCODING UTF8;
Also tried 'csv' option, instead of removequotes/escape, but it can't work.
I must admit there is something wrong my command, but so far, I have no idea.
Any advice would be highly appreciated.

I want to copy a Postgres (version 11) table into a csv file with delimiter as double byte character. Please assist if this can be achieved.
I am trying this:
COPY "Tab1" TO 'C:\Folder\Tempfile.csv' with (delimiter E'অ');
Getting an error:
COPY delimiter must be a single one-byte character
You could use COPY TO PROGRAM. On Unix system that could look like
COPY "Tabl" TO PROGRAM 'sed -e ''s/|/অ/g'' > /outfile.csv' (FORMAT 'csv', delimiter '|');
Choose a delimiter that does not occur in the data. On Windows, perhaps you can write a Powershell command that translates the characters.
I have a tab delimited file I am trying to import into Postgres. It looks like this -
"ID" "NBR"
"101931126593" "3"
I can successfully import this file using this command -
\copy service from test.txt with delimiter E'\t' null as 'NULL';
However, this is not omitting the quotes. For example, I want ID to be 101931126593 and not "101931126593".
I have tried this so far, but it still does not import it without the quotes -
\copy service from test.txt with CSV delimiter E'\t' QUOTE E'\b' null as 'NULL';
" is the default quoting character anyway:
\copy service FROM 'test.txt' (FORMAT 'csv', DELIMITER E'\t', NULL 'NULL')
I have a database setup with a UTF-8 encoding. Trying to copy a table to csv, where the filename has a special character writes out the filename wrong to disk.
On a Windows 10 localhost PostgreSQL installation:
copy
(select 'tønder')
to 'C:\temp\Sønderborg.csv' (FORMAT CSV, HEADER TRUE, DELIMITER ';', ENCODING 'UTF8');
Names the csv file: Sønderborg.csv and not Sønderborg.csv.
Both
SHOW CLIENT ENCODING;
SHOW SERVER_ENCODING;
returns UTF8
How can one control the csv filename encoding? The encoding inside the csv is ok writing Tønder!
UPDATE
I have run the copy command from pgAdmin, DataGrip and a psql console. DataGrip uses JDBC and will only handle UTF8. All three applications writes the csv filename in wrong encoding. The only difference is that the psql console says the client encoding is WIN1252.
I don't think it's possible to change this behaviour. It looks like Postgres assumes that the filename encoding matches the server_encoding (as suggested on the mailing lists here and here). The only workaround I could find was to run the command while connected to a WIN1252-encoded database, which is probably not very helpful.
If you're trying to run this on the same machine as the server itself, then instead of using the server-side COPY, you can run psql's client-side \copy, which will respect your client_encoding when interpreting the file path:
psql -c "\copy (select 'tønder') to 'C:\temp\Sønderborg.csv' (FORMAT CSV, HEADER TRUE, DELIMITER ';', ENCODING 'UTF8')"
Note that cmd.exe (and even powershell.exe) still uses legacy DOS encodings by default, so you might need to run chcp 1252 to set the console codepage before launching psql.
I am reading a csv file in my sql script and copying its data into a postgre sql table. The line of code is below :
\copy participants_2013 from 'C:/Users/Acrotrend/Desktop/mip_sahil/mip/reelportdata/Participating_Individual_Extract_Report_MIPJunior_2013_160414135957.Csv' with CSV delimiter ',' quote '"' HEADER;
I am getting following error : character with byte sequence 0x9d in encoding 'WIN1252' has no equivalent in encoding 'UTF8'.
Can anyone help me with what the cause of this issue and how can I resolve it?
The problem is that 0x9D is not a valid byte value in WIN1252.
There's a table here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1252
The problem may be that you are importing a UTF-8 file and postgresql is defaulting to Windows-1252 (which I believe is the default on many windows systems).
You need to change the character set on your windows command line before running the script with chcp. Or in postgresql you can:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'utf8';
Before importing the file.
Simply specify encoding 'UTF-8' as the encoding in the \copy command, e.g. (I broke it into two lines for readability but keep it all on the same line):
\copy dest_table from 'C:/src-data.csv'
(format csv, header true, delimiter ',', encoding 'UTF8');
More details:
The problem is that the Client Encoding is set to WIN1252, most likely because it is running on Windows machine but the file has a UTF-8 character in it.
You can check the Client Encoding with
SHOW client_encoding;
client_encoding
-----------------
WIN1252
Any encoding has numeric ranges of valid code. Are you sure so your data are in win1252 encoding?
Postgres is very strict and doesn't import any possible encoding broken files. You can use iconv that can works in tolerant mode, and it can remove broken chars. After cleaning by iconv you can import the file.
I had this problem today and it was because inside of a TEXT column I had fancy quotes that had been copy/pasted from an external source.
I am using the copy command in Postgresql and I have a line of data in a text file that is tab seperated and I would like to copy it into the db table.
I get an error saying:
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
SQL state: 22021
Context: COPY real_acct1, line 113038
So I went to the line 113038 from the text file and copied it along with 4 or 5 neighboring lines into a new text file and behold that new data went in.
Any helpful thoughts? This is parcel data attributes info.
Your problem is actually one of character encoding.
The easiest way to deal with this is running your import data through iconv (assuming you're on a unix machine).
iconv -f original_charset -t utf-8 originalfile > newfile
