insert vs. copy in pgAdmin

Hello all,

 

When I use the import (csv) into a table feature, it makes a copy. This is not working for our database folks (they need to auto-populate a date/time field and for whatever reason, cannot do this if I “copy” the csv into the db).

Is there a way to import and stipulate “insert” instead (using pgAdmin, that is).

 

Thanks,

Sharon

Try to get a detailed technical description of your DBAs' problems.

I don't think so.

But you can COPY to a temporary table and then use

  INSERT INTO ... SELECT ...

to populate the target table from the temporary table.
