To follow up on this, there seems to be a general problem that COPY did not use the same column order as a default display for this particular table. The table had just been created and had not been subjected to alterations. I got round the problem by specifying the column list to the COPY command. -- Oliver Elphick olly@lfix.co.uk Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/A54310EA 92C8 39E7 280E 3631 3F0E 1EC0 5664 7A2F A543 10EA ======================================== Do you want to know God? http://www.lfix.co.uk/knowing_god.html ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
