Never worry about your database again!

How It Affects Your App

The PostgreSQL 22P05 UNTRANSLATABLE CHARACTER error indicates that the application is attempting to store a character that cannot be represented in the database's character set. This can lead to data corruption and unexpected behavior in the application. It can also cause queries to fail, as the database will not be able to interpret the character correctly. In addition, the application may not be able to display the data correctly, as the character will not be rendered properly.

How To Fix

1. Identify the source of the PostgreSQL 22P05 error:The PostgreSQL 22P05 error is a syntax error that occurs when a character string is not properly formatted. To identify the source of the error, you can use the following code snippet to view the query that caused the error:

SELECT * FROM pg_stat_activity WHERE state = 'error

2. Fix the syntax error:Once you have identified the source of the error, you can fix the syntax error by using the following code snippet:

ALTER TABLE table_name ALTER COLUMN column_name TYPE data_type USING expression;

3. Test the fix:Once you have fixed the syntax error, you can test the fix by running the query again. If the query runs successfully, then the fix has been successful.

4. Monitor the database: To ensure that the PostgreSQL 22P05 error does not occur again, it is important to monitor the database for any potential issues. An automated database observability tool can be used to monitor the database and alert you to any potential issues. This can help you quickly identify and fix any issues before they become a problem.
