PostgreSQL Error 22013: Invalid Size Parameters
Description
This Data Exception error indicates that a function or operation was called with size, length, or offset parameters that are invalid or out of range. It commonly occurs when manipulating strings, arrays, or binary data where the specified dimensions do not make sense relative to the data itself, such as a negative length or an offset beyond the data's boundary.
Error Message
invalid preceding or following size
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect String Function Arguments
Using functions like `substring()` or `overlay()` with a length or offset parameter that is negative, zero when not allowed, or extends beyond the string's actual length.
Invalid Array Dimension/Slice
Attempting to access an array slice or element using indices or dimensions that are negative or exceed the array's defined bounds.
Malformed Binary Data Operations
Performing operations on `bytea` (binary string) data with invalid start positions or lengths, leading to attempts to read or write outside the data's boundaries.
Application Data Logic Error
The application feeding data to PostgreSQL generates parameters for string, array, or binary functions that are logically incorrect based on the data's actual content.
