Hi all,
I recently installed Postgis-SVN (1.5.2SVN) together with PostgreSQL 9.0
beta 3 and noticed that FME (from Safe software) cannot read the
geometries anymore. It used to work fine with older versions.
The error message I get reads as follows:
"Error in the OGR while importing well known binary geometry
Invalid WKB encountered"
I wonder if other users of Postgis SVN and FME are getting similar problems?
Hi Andreas,
If you're using PostgreSQL 9.0, you're probably getting affected by
this: http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/538.
In short, it seems that various applications don't use the official
PostgreSQL libpq unescape functions but instead implement their own -
and since the default representation has changed, the parsing code needs
to be updated. Note that you can change the default using the
bytea_output GUC in postgresql.conf if updating the software proves to
be impossible.
HTH,
Mark.
