Обсуждение: Using COPY

Hi, im trying to use the copy command to load some data in my tables but i
get the following message:

000081": can't parse "pg_atoi: error in "0

When i execute the following command:

copy carconffuente from
'/users/juanf/documents/scriptspostgresql/tablacarconffuente'

The file structure is like this:

000081    16    53    60    0.84999999999999998    70    0    0    0
000081    17    29    60    0.80000000000000004    70    0    0    0
000081    18    37    60    0.94999999999999996    70    0    0    0

And the first column's type is CHAR(6).

The file was exported from mssqlserver2000 with ANSI coding, <cr> as row
separator, no quotes for the texts, and TAB as the column separator.

Thanks a lor in advance

Are you sure that the table has _exactly_ these columns ?

Try specifying the columnnames explicitly:

COPY table (colname1, colname2, ...) FROM ...

Wrong thing :-(.  COPY will *only* accept <lf> as row separators.

This is relaxed for 7.4, but you're evidently not on 7.4 yet ...
