I finally percated that when data contains 'ñ' or 'à' it's impossible to
parse trought:
COPY products FROM '/var/lib/postgres/dadesi.txt' USING DELIMITERS '|' \g
it causes:
SELECT edicion FROM products;
edicion
-----------------
España|Nacional <-------puts on the same cell either there's an '|' in
the middle!!!
but changing 'ñ' for n
SELECT edicion FROM products;
edicion
-----------------
Espana <---------------it separates cells ok
so what's my solution for a text to COPY containing such characters?
Postgresql 7.0.2
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
I have LANG=es_ES on postmaster.init
