If you have the data already in a text file, you can upload the text file to the server, then run "COPY xxxx FROM <path_to_file_on_server>" from within PgAdmin, but if you have psql access, then use that as it's much less hassle.

Hi,

I am trying to run a COPY my_table FROM STDIN from pgAdmin ... but I can not 
manage to get it to work !

It runs with psql !

Here is a short version of the command:
COPY xfrt.import_cpts FROM STDIN;
1    DG 1    6930     7 JAN 07    1
2    DG 2    5430     7 JAN 07    2
3    DG 3    4617     7 JAN 07    3
\.

Am I missing something obvious ?

pgAdmin is not a console app - there is no easily usable stdin so you
cannot use COPY.

Regards, Dave.
