Hello,
Imagine a web application that process text search queries from
clients. If one types a text search query in a browser it then sends
proper UTF-8 characters and application after all needed processing
(escaping, checks, etc) passes it to database. But if one modifies URL
of the query

Hello,
Well, PostgreSQL is correct entirely, I would post this message to the
-hackers list otherwise :) The question was rather about application
processing of user input not about change of database reaction on
broken UTF-8 string. But I am 100% sure one should fix the input in
this case since
Hello,
Actually I tried smth like $str = @iconv(UTF-8, UTF-8//IGNORE,
$str); when preparing string for SQL query and it worked. There's
probably a better way in PHP to achieve this: simply change default
values in php.ini for these parameters:
mbstring.encoding_translation = On

What is the best practice to process such a broken strings before
passing them to PostgreSQL? Iconv from utf-8 to utf-8 dropping bad
characters?
This rings of GIGO... if your user enters garbage, how do you know
what they wanted? You

What, exactly, does that mean?
That PostgreSQL should take things in invalid utf-8 format and just store
them?
Or that PostgreSQL should autoconvert from invalid utf-8 to valid
utf-8, guessing the proper codes?
Seriously, what do

It does allow that: store it as a BLOB, and then

1. Even if it were bytea, would it work with regular SQL operators
such as regexp and LIKE?
2. Would tsearch2 work with bytea in the future as long as the stuff
in it was text?
As far as I know, regexp, [i]like, tsearch2, etc. all require valid text

This is very useful, thanks. This would be bytea? Quick questions:
1. Even if it were bytea, would it work with regular SQL operators

bytea is specifically designed for binary data, as such it has all
15 matches
