There are some (pretty broken IMO) Windows editors that add such behind your back in order to mark a text file as being text ... of course, it's not plain text anymore, and BOM is useless/illegal in UTF-8 anyway, but standards compliance was never Microsoft's strong suit. Save the file with some other editor. regards, tom lane
Hi,
e.g.
COPY cust
FROM 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.1\

There are some (pretty broken IMO) Windows editors that add such behind
your back in order to mark a text file as being text ... of course, it's
not plain text anymore, and BOM is useless/illegal in UTF-8 anyway, but
