ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding WITH psql
I've seen numerous issues in other posts with the copy command and:
```
ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xfc
```
And the consensus in these posts appears to be to specify the encoding in the command you're doing the copy with. I have done so:
```
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -d BOBDB -U BOB -c "\COPY \"BOBTB01\" FROM 'C:\Temp\file.csv' with csv HEADER ENCODING 'WIN1252'";
Password for user BOB:
**ERROR:  character with byte sequence 0x81 in encoding "WIN1252" has no equivalent in encoding "UTF8"
CONTEXT:  COPY BOBTB01, line 76589**
```
So, that confused me and I changed to UTF8 to WIN1252 and having done so I get a slightly different error, the failure is on a different line and the text is slightly different.
```
psql -h localhost -p 5432 -d BOBDB -U BOB -c "\COPY \"BOBTB01\" FROM 'C:\Temp\file.csv' with csv HEADER ENCODING 'UTF8'";
Password for user BOB:
**ERROR:  invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xfc
CONTEXT:  COPY BOBTB01, line 163**
```
This is the encoding shown in the database:
```
show client_encoding;
 client_encoding
-----------------
 UTF8
(1 row)
```
The file is from a reliable source and I happen to have "R" installed which also does .csv import. The file was pulled into "R" without issue, that's making me think it's not the file but something else. Is there another switch or syntax that can bypass these issues perhaps?

I'm not sure what is wrong.

Can you help?

Thanks.
Whats missing on my Ruby 'Inverse Of' relationship
I know this topic has been addressed, but I have been at this for 2 days and I'm just stuck. I know inverse of does not create a new query, so should I use another method?

Question: How to set up an 'inverse of' with a has_one, belongs_to situation & same class..

Explanation: A user 'has_one :spouse' and 'belongs_to :spouse_from'. They are inverse of each other. When a User signs up, they can invite their significant other. For Example
1. user_a invites & creates user_b
2. user_b.spouse_id is set to user_a.id
3. In a separate method I want to be able to update like.. user_a.spouse_id = user_a.spouse.id
The only association that works at this point is user_b.spouse.
```
 Class User
  has_one :spouse, class_name: 'User', foreign_key: :spouse_id, dependent: :nullify, inverse_of: :spouse_from


  belongs_to :spouse_from, class_name: 'User', foreign_key: :spouse_id, inverse_of: :spouse, optional: true
```

Normalizing data in postgresql

Flag This application will read an iTunes library in comma-separated-values (CSV) and produce properly normalized tables as specified below. Once you have placed the proper data in the tables, press the button below to check your answer.

We will do some things differently in this assignment. We will not use a separate "raw" table, we will just use ALTER TABLE statements to remove columns after we don't need them (i.e. we converted them into foreign keys).

We will use the same CSV track data as in prior exercises - this time we will build a many-to-many relationship using a junction/through/join table between tracks and artists.

To grade this assignment, the program will run a query like this on your database and look for the data it expects to see:


SELECT track.title, album.title, artist.name
FROM track
JOIN album ON track.album_id = album.id
JOIN tracktoartist ON track.id = tracktoartist.track_id
JOIN artist ON tracktoartist.artist_id = artist.id
ORDER BY track.title
LIMIT 3;

Expected out put is this

The expected result of this query on your database is: title album artist A Boy Named Sue (live) The Legend Of Johnny Cash Jo


DROP TABLE album CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE album (
    id SERIAL,
    title VARCHAR(128) UNIQUE,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

DROP TABLE track CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE track (
    id SERIAL,
    title TEXT, 
    artist TEXT, 
    album TEXT, 
    album_id INTEGER REFERENCES album(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    count INTEGER, 
    rating INTEGER, 
    len INTEGER,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

DROP TABLE artist CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE artist (
    id SERIAL,
    name VARCHAR(128) UNIQUE,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

DROP TABLE tracktoartist CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE tracktoartist (
    id SERIAL,
    track VARCHAR(128),
    track_id INTEGER REFERENCES track(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    artist VARCHAR(128),
    artist_id INTEGER REFERENCES artist(id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
    PRIMARY KEY(id)
);

\copy track(title,artist,album,count,rating,len) FROM 'library.csv' WITH DELIMITER ',' CSV;

INSERT INTO album (title) SELECT DISTINCT album FROM track;
UPDATE track SET album_id = (SELECT album.id FROM album WHERE album.title = track.album);

INSERT INTO tracktoartist (track, artist) SELECT DISTINCT ...

INSERT INTO artist (name) ...

UPDATE tracktoartist SET track_id = ...
UPDATE tracktoartist SET artist_id = ...

-- We are now done with these text fields
ALTER TABLE track DROP COLUMN album;
ALTER TABLE track ...
ALTER TABLE tracktoartist DROP COLUMN track;
ALTER TABLE tracktoartist ...

SELECT track.title, album.title, artist.name
FROM track
JOIN album ON track.album_id = album.id
JOIN tracktoartist ON track.id = tracktoartist.track_id
JOIN artist ON tracktoartist.artist_id = artist.id
LIMIT 3;

What am i doing wrong with the code?
