I didn't specify any schema, so it was created in public schema.The error
message also says
"public"...//------------------------------------------------------------------ERROR:
column "rec_id" of relation "spec" does not existLINE 1: INSERT INTO
"public"."spec"
("rec_id","title_c...//------------------------------------------------------------------
Output of the \d spec:
Table "public.spec" Column | Type
| Modifiers
----------------------------+-------------------------+----------- rec_id
| character varying(32) | not null title_category |
character varying(255) | doctype | character varying(255)
| ... goes on like this for other columns.
What are you trying to see in the output of \d spec?
I don't understand what you mean by the import code is trying to insert in to
wrong version of the table.I visually checked the left side "menu like"
structure of the phpPgAdmin- there is no other table of that name.
You mentioned that quoted identifiers are not the issue.This prompted me to
test the process in a table with a few columns and ascii characters.Immediately
it was clear that quoted identifiers were not to blame.
I found that I got that error when I change encoding of the tab delimited file
to UTF-8. Because my data contains non-ascii characters, if I don't use UTF-8,
I get this error.
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x82
... and I read somewhere that if I open the text file in notpad and save it
with UTF-8 encoding, I can get rid of the error. (When inserting using pyDev
(psycopg2)/Eclipse, that does get rid of the error...
That's why I changed encoding.
And now I am stuck with this error.
But at least, now I am not blaming phpPgAdmin :)Thanks for the lead.
BTW, both server and client encoding of my pg db are UTF8.
testdb=# SHOW SERVER_ENCODING; server_encoding ----------------- UTF8(1 row)
testdb=# SHOW CLIENT_ENCODING; client_encoding ----------------- UTF8(1 row)
testdb=#

I don't think the quoted identifiers are the issue. I am suspecting that
the import code may be trying to INSERT into the wrong version of the
table. Some questions:
1) Which schema did you create spec in?
2) In psql what does \d spec show?
