Problem after postgres psql copy to csv and psql copy back field is no longer encrypted. After loading back it says ERROR: Wrong key or corrupt data SQL state:39000



I have a PostreSQL table with a encrypted field in it (using pgcrypto extension). The field is defined with bytea. I used the command:
psql -d dbname -U username -w -c "copy (select * from sch.table) to 'C:/directory/subdirectory/file.csv' '|' CSV HEADER;"
command to put it in a csv file.



Then I tried to put it in another table defined the exact way (same create definitions with bytea on same fields), because I am creating a new table with this data and more to be added.



Then I used:
psql -d dbname -U username -w -c "copy sch.newtable FROM 'C:/directory/subdirectory/file.csv' DELIMITER '|' CSV HEADER;" to reload it.



I assumed the bytea column would be dumped and loaded back the same, but it is not. After loading back it says ERROR: Wrong key or corrupt data SQL state:39000



Do I need some extra options on the psql commands to take this into account?

  • Most of all, you need to tell up the CREATE TABLE statements and the data in there. In other words, we need a reproducible test case.
