This is an exact copy of the screen contents, no translation by me has taken place. Indeed strange, "ERROR" (english) "KONTEXT" (german, one line below) ??
To add further confusion: I have a report that the error also appeared on a non-VM native PC with Windows 7 Enterprise. Unfortunately, I dont have the exact error message, but I try to get it ASAP.
So what if you load to the VM Postgres using the psql from the host?
I tried that: On the host I started psql with psql -h 192.168.2.55 -U postgres -p 5432 my_Database < myFile.sql
I get the same error
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type double precision "0.2" KONTEXT: COPY dev_my_settings, line xxx, column xxx: "0.2"
Is the above how the message was actually presented or has a partial translation taken place? Just asking because it would seem to indicate further confusion about the locale.
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type double precision "15.776653623"
Hmm, I'm at a loss. It is not a strict Windows issue as you can restore on other Windows machines. The remaining suspect would be VMware. VMware and locales tickles a memory, one that I cannot drag up at the moment. One of those things where the more you think of it the further it goes away. We will see if working on other stuff causes it to sneak up on me:)
