Title:

Hi guys,

I meet a problem when try to import data from a Tab-delimited-text file to a table by command 'copy from'. A sample procedure is explained as follow,


first, I generate a file called  /home/temp/test.txt, let's suppose it has only two lines, ( the four figures are delimited by tab)
123     456
789     999

Second, I type the following command under PSQL,
create table ttt ( c1 bigint, c2 bigint);

Finally, I try to import the data from test.txt into table ttt by,
copy ttt from '/home/temp/test.txt';


But I was told,
ERROR:  copy: line 1, Bad int8 external representation "'123'"

 

(My PostgreSQL is v7.1)

I would appreciate any help or advice.

 

        thanks in advance,
