Describe the problem you’re observing:
I tried exporting a table to SQL, and executing the query to insert into another database. The query failed because the array values were malformed.
Steps to reproduce, if exist:
- Create a SQL table that has at least 1 column of type TEXT[].
- Populate the table with data.
- Right click on the table in the Database Navigator, and click Export Data.
- Select SQL.
- Hit Next until getting to the Output page
- Select “Copy to clipboard”
- Paste the copied query into a
psqlprompt
Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the logs
ERROR: malformed array literal: <the array value here>
