Depending on PostgreSQL version, copy restrictions may be performed (see
also documentation of PostgreSQL 8.4):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-copy.html
Assuming that a CSV file contains data with column headers c1, c2, and
c3, the following statement would retrieve only columns c1 and c2 from
this file to a table t1:
COPY t1(c1, c2) FROM '/path/to/file.csv';
