[postgis-users] reverse_geocode() specific error at specific geom point

[Barry McCall]

For some reason when I reverse_geocode geometry point
0101000020AD10000095D4096822CC53C08A1F63EE5AAA4140
it returns error
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type numeric: " "
********** Error **********

ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: " "
SQL state: 22P02

I performed UPDATE tiger.geocode_settings SET setting = 'true' WHERE name =
'debug_reverse_geocode'; to try to get a grasp of what was going on;
however, there are so many CTEs in the debug I cant get a grasp of what is
really happening.

Does anyone familiar with this system know why this is throwing this error?
It seems to only happen with lon,lat around -79.1866 35.3309.


SELECT r.addy[1] FROM reverse_geocode(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(-79.1866
35.3309)',4269),true) AS r
