What platform is this running on? It looks as if someone executed a sql script from the Windows environment that contains the control characters and pointed it to postgres running on Linux/Unix.
From: pgsql-admin-ow...@postgresql.org [mailto:pgsql-admin-ow...@postgresql.org] On Behalf Of Marc Fromm Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 12:19 PM To: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org Subject: [ADMIN] postgresql logs In my postgresql logs, found in the pg_log folder, there are several sql syntax errors where the sql statement is broken up with the characters "^M". The error is at the first field name that is broken up by the ^M as shown below in the example. The ^M breaks up the field reference2zip by splitting it into "r^M" and "eference2zip". Example -ERROR: syntax error at or near "eference2zip" at character 699 INSERT INTO loan_requests (loantype,loan_amt,studentfname,studentlname,studentid,studentdlicense,studentemail,curstudentstreet,curstudentcity,curstudentstate,curstudentzip,curstudentcountry,curstudentphone,permstudentstreet,permstudentcity,permstudentstate,permstudentzip,permstudentcountry,permstudentphone,employername,employerstreet,employercity,employerstate,employerzip,employercountry,parentfname,parentlname,parentstreet,parentcity,parentstate,parentzip,parentcountry,parentphone,reference1fname,reference1lname,reference1street,reference1city,reference1state,reference1zip,reference1country,reference1phone,reference2fname,reference2lname,reference2street,reference2city,reference2state,r^M eference2zip,reference2country,reference2phone,explanation,reason,status) VALUES ('zzz','zzz','zzz','zzz','zzz','zzz','zzz^M zzz', . . . ) Any ideas on what is generating the ^M and breaking up the sql statement so that it cannot be executed?
