Re: Postgresql 9.4.4 - ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92

From log file:
    ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92
    STATEMENT:  SELECT * FROM client_data WHERE status_code = 0 ORDER BY client_name, description

Code that causes it:
        String sql = "SELECT * FROM client_data WHERE status_code = 0 ORDER BY client_name, description";
        ResultSet rs = connection.createStatement().executeQuery(sql);

How do I set the connection property?

-------------------------------------------------------------
Can you share the query and parameters that reproduce the failure?
For instance, can you please set loglevel=2 connection property and
provide "FE=> Bind", "FE=> Describe", etc stdout messages that precede
"invalid byte sequence" error?

Hi,

I have recently migrated to 9.4.4 from 9.1. I did a dump and restore to migrate the database. When I try to connect using JDBC I am getting the following error, the database encoding is SQL_ASCII.
Same error with postgresql-9.4-1201.jdbc4.jar & postgresql-9.1-902.jdbc4.jar.

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x92   at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.receiveErrorResponse(QueryExecutorImpl.java:2270)   at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.processResults(QueryExecutorImpl.java:1998)   at org.postgresql.core.v3.QueryExecutorImpl.execute(QueryExecutorImpl.java:255)   at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.execute(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:570)   at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeWithFlags(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:420)   at org.postgresql.jdbc2.AbstractJdbc2Statement.executeQuery(AbstractJdbc2Statement.java:305)   at com.sun.rowset.JdbcRowSetImpl.execute(JdbcRowSetImpl.java:567)

Command used to create the database
/usr/local/pgsql/bin/createdb --encoding=SQL_ASCII --template=template0 db_server

Thanks,
