Alas, Gentlemen, neither effort returned anything. In PGADMIN4, I ran both of the following with no results returned:
SELECT a.resourceinstanceid, b.name as card_name FROM tiles a JOIN cards b on a.nodegroupid = b.nodegroupid WHERE 1=1 and tiledata::text like '%|%' set standard_conforming_strings=on; SELECT a.resourceinstanceid, b.name as card_name FROM tiles a JOIN cards b on a.nodegroupid = b.nodegroupid WHERE 1=1 and tiledata::text like E'%xa6%' In the python shell I ran the following with no results returned: from arches.app.models.tile import Tile tiles = Tile.objects.all() for tile in tiles: for value in tile.data.values(): if isinstance(value, unicode): if "|" in value: print tile.resourceinstance_id At least you are agreed, there is no there there. Just for grins, I reran the export business data command and got the same error as shown in the first post in this thread. As a final effort, I ran the following and got more than 10,000 results, since that's all that stayed in the terminal memory: from arches.app.models.tile import Tile tiles = Tile.objects.all() for tile in tiles: for value in tile.data.values(): if isinstance(value, unicode): print tile.resourceinstance_id, value Below is a partial list of the results. I don't see anything suspicious in the values, but I see that these few resources have multiple entries in this list. I don't know if that's because this list list is a complete dump of all 1M+ cards or if there's something to see here. I ran reports on a few of these and found nothing amiss. fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 33595d18-c941-4a4b-91e8-0fa08e229c4d 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 3db588f4-2384-4cbe-b429-5c63630b9b9d 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 138B177 25 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 08130495-9729-46fa-8a3b-2dfa97286ab9 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 679152 fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 0997ad7a-ad94-43b3-b662-8945c6c1b10e fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 f5d15b7d-da92-4b63-82a1-8632b361e860 fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 3db588f4-2384-4cbe-b429-5c63630b9b9d fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 117B181 568 99b6ae9f-a061-46f4-b69c-f6f4b43ad69a 6137 E GARRISON DR 99b6ae9f-a061-46f4-b69c-f6f4b43ad69a 209c5206-eb2f-406e-b42e-288f84680a4a 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 411 N SPAULDING AVE 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 209c5206-eb2f-406e-b42e-288f84680a4a fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 3939 S URSULA AVE fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec 209c5206-eb2f-406e-b42e-288f84680a4a 29a5a1ce-bfd1-4f8a-90a8-41e76b337558 2608 S ORCHARD AVE 29a5a1ce-bfd1-4f8a-90a8-41e76b337558 ad7fce52-1185-4ad8-bc65-e100de19be96 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 Orange Grove Avenue-Gardner Street Multi-Family Residential Historic District - Contributor 52c5f05e-1827-4b06-909b-9a66ff3e6e95 efd0fd4d-ebcf-4e7d-801f-0dc036a0c1b3 fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec Baldwin Plaza-Sunset Fields Historic District - Contributor fd44f81a-14b1-41f9-b33a-d66c66a960ec efd0fd4d-ebcf-4e7d-801f-0dc036a0c1b3 So, is there a middle ground here, where I can get more than nothing and less than all? Is there a way for me to log the bad records and continue with the export nonetheless? Somehow, I need to correct the issues and successfully export data from the database.
