Jim, Your reference to \COPY proved extremely useful for me--thanks!
At first, I didn't much pay attention to it, because the portion of the docs you excerpted focussed on STDIN; but when I read the whole doc set for the command, it was clear that I could indeed plug in any old file spec as with the regular COPY command. When I did that, everything worked fine. :) (Well, when I did that and remembered to use the HEADER parameter, and managed to properly clean up the CSV file, which strangely had a trailing comma in every record, which comma bothered Access not at all, but very understandably bothered PostgreSQL, or perhaps psql.) Thanks again, Jim. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
