It appears that this error is generated when a row has a missing value in

\N \N \N
Something strange is going on here. I moved the above line from row 47363
(within the COPY block) to row 2. This produced this error:
ERROR: extra data after last expected column
CONTEXT: COPY chemistry, line 2: "\N GW-22 2005-03-09 Depth to
Water \N Feet \N \N \N \N"
I created a blank line just beneath this one and entered the same data on
this new row, ensuring that there are no extra data after column #10. The
results are the same:
ERROR: extra data after last expected column
CONTEXT: COPY chemistry, line 2: "\N GW-22 2005-03-09 Depth to
Water \N Feet \N \N \N \N"
What could possibly be going on here? This row was not modified by me
after running pg_dump on the chemistry table, so why will it not be
restored?
Totally confused,
Rich
