Problem with RichEdit on PSQL 8.4

When .POST I see EXCEPTION

Project clients.exe raised exception class EZDatabaseError with message 'SQL Error: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
HINT: This error can also happen if the byte sequence does not match the encoding expected by the server, which is controlled by "client_encoding".'. Process stopped. Use Step or Run to continue.

SQLMonitor:

This error appeared after installing 8.4, on 8.3 is worked.

Table:

CREATE TABLE clients
(
id serial NOT NULL,
make timestamp without time zone,
sale timestamp without time zone,
note text,
firstname character(64),
lastname character(64),
sername character(64),
phone character(48),
"Address" character(255),
diler character(64),
sn integer,
unin character(16) NOT NULL,
mac macaddr,
CONSTRAINT clients_sid PRIMARY KEY (id)
)

How do I fix this error?

Hi,

I'm not a PSQL expert. Has something changed in the (default?) encoding used between server and client in PSQL8.4 ? Like now the server expects utf8 instead of the encoding used before.
Or by installing the new version you may have changed some setting?

Not sure, but it looks like the bytea encoding is used here for sending data to the server. Is that (still?) allowed for text fields?

Thank you. The RTF format mast to use bytea. Just Postgers 8.3 and below are not cursing the character \ 000 stands at the end of the stream

[mdaems]

Did you solve the problem now by changing the datatype of the field to bytea?
