    text
    copied!<p>I am switching from using SQLite3 to PostgreSQL, and hoped that I could populate the database using the fixtures I had been using to populate SQLite3. However, I am getting these errors:</p> <pre><code>$ python manage.py loaddata fixtures/core.json fixtures/auth.json Installing json fixture 'fixtures/core' from absolute path. Problem installing fixture 'fixtures/core.json': Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/core/management/commands/loaddata.py", line 153, in handle obj.save() File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 163, in save models.Model.save_base(self.object, raw=True) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/models/base.py", line 495, in save_base result = manager._insert(values, return_id=update_pk) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/models/manager.py", line 177, in _insert return insert_query(self.model, values, **kwargs) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/models/query.py", line 1087, in insert_query return query.execute_sql(return_id) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/models/sql/subqueries.py", line 320, in execute_sql cursor = super(InsertQuery, self).execute_sql(None) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/models/sql/query.py", line 2369, in execute_sql cursor.execute(sql, params) File "/home/mvid/webapps/nihl/nihlapp/django/db/backends/util.py", line 19, in execute return self.cursor.execute(sql, params) DataError: value too long for type character varying(30) </code></pre> <p>I never used to get any data length errors, and I have not changed the models between database switches. PostgreSQL is running utf8. Is there a way to see exactly which json values it fails on so that I can update the respective models? Any idea as to why the values worked in SQLite but fail in PostgreSQL?</p>
 

Querying!
