title: Postgresql copying data into a table
body: <p>I am using the copy command in Postgresql and I have a line of data in a text file that is tab seperated and I would like to copy it into the db table.</p>
  
  <p>I get an error saying:
  ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x00
  SQL state: 22021
  Context: COPY real_acct1, line 113038</p>
  
  <p>So I went to the line 113038 from the text file and copied it along with 4 or 5 neighboring lines into a new text file and behold that new data went in.</p>
  
  <p>Any helpful thoughts?  This is parcel data attributes info.</p>
