Hi all,

I've run into an issue with sending UTF-8 to Postgres, using DBIx::Class and DBD::Pg.

Using DBIC_TRACE=1: 

INSERT INTO method_data ( method_id, params) VALUES ( ?, ? ) RETURNING method_data_id: '59807', '{"addressLine1":"堅尼地道105號","ms-correlationid":"D2559182-719E-11E9-9E71-271EACAC0E00","city":"灣仔","country":"HK","user":"ut-testadmin"}'
Using DBI_TRACE: 
     -> bind_param for DBD::Pg::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x7f982408c7f0)~0x7f982408d2b8 1 59813 undef)
    <- bind_param= ( 1 ) 1 items at DBI.pm line 1891
    -> bind_param for DBD::Pg::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x7f982408c7f0)~0x7f982408d2b8 2 '{"addressLine1":"�.尼�.��..105�..","country":"HK","city":"�.��.","ms-correlationid":"019A09E2-71A3-11E9-971A-C122ACAC0E00","user":"ut-testadmin"}' undef)
Making the query shown by DBIC_TRACE in the CLI succeeds normally.

Is this a known problem? I couldn't find much on the interwebs about it. I don't see anything in the source for DBD::Pg concerning encoding: are the C libs doing something under the hood?

Thanks in advance.


The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
