I have seen another strange occurrence of such errors... I'm using linux with UTF8 client encoding, and psql gives me such errors: dbval=# select 1; ERROR: column " 1" does not exist The full story is that I typed 'ΓΌ' (u-umlaut if it won't render correctly) and backspace before the '1'. I guess the backspace will delete byte-wise and will so fail to delete properly multi-byte characters. I have no idea if this is a problem of psql or some other problem, and it was not annoying enough to report it... BTW, the space in " 1" is something I was not able to copy-paste from the psql command line into the mail, so I'm pretty sure it's a byte code which is invalid UTF8.
