Body
I'm running into an error while trying to write to tweets to my psql database. I've searched the internet high and low (perhaps not well enough) for the answer, with no avail. I've looked at the answers here - but the suggestion was to convert the string to UTF8 (even though the response headers claim it's UTF-8 already). I did so with this code: <pre><code># get the data from twitter response = RestClient.get "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?rpp=100&since_id=238726971826253824&q=love" # find the data encoding using CharDet data = CharDet.detect(response.body) encoding = data['encoding'] # create a new instance of Iconv with UTF-8 and then convert response.body ic = Iconv.new('UTF-8//IGNORE', encoding) converted_response = ic.iconv(response.body + ' ')[0..-2] # take the data and convert it to JSON response_json = ActiveSupport::JSON.decode(converted_response) </code></pre> We then parse response_json and create tweets inside out database. However, when doing so, we get this error below. <pre><code> [4;36;1mSQL (0.1ms)[0m [0;1mBEGIN[0m [4;35;1mSQL (0.0ms)[0m [0mPG::Error: ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xeda0bc : INSERT INTO "tweets" ("from_user_id", "approved", "from_user", "has_profanity", "twitter_search_id", "twitter_id", "posted_at", "updated_at", "iso_language_code", "profile_image_url", "text", "created_at", "archived", "geo", "to_user_id", "to_user", "metadata", "source", "event_id") VALUES(573857675, NULL, 'nataliekiro', NULL, 618, 238825898718162944, '2012-08-24 02:31:46.000000', '2012-08-24 02:32:05.166492', 'en', 'http://a0.twimg.com/profile_images/2341785780/image_normal.jpg', 'Happy Birthday @daughternumber1 í ¼í¾‚ Love You í ½í¸˜', '2012-08-24 02:32:05.166492', 'f', NULL, 0, NULL, '--- !map:HashWithIndifferentAccess result_type: recent </code></pre> I've gone ahead and tested the class of the response_json (returns Hash), even though at the end of that error it says HashWithIndifferentAccess. Anyone else have similar issues & know of a solution? Thanks!

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
