[GENERAL] COPY from CSV, passing in default value?

Mon, 14 May 2012 10:32:09 -0700 

Assuming I have a table structured like so:

CREATE TABLE salaries (
    Town varchar(30),
    County varchar(30),
    Supervisor varchar(30),
    StartDate date,
    Salary int,
    Benefits int
);

If I have a CSV with only three of those fields, I can import like this:

COPY salaries (Town, Supervisor, Salary)
FROM 'C:\salaries.csv'
WITH (FORMAT CSV);

However, what if I wanted to assign a default value during import to
populate the County field? In my dreams it would be something like this
(which does not work):

COPY salaries (Town, 'County Name', Supervisor, Salary)
FROM 'C:\salaries.csv'
WITH (FORMAT CSV);

Any ideas?

Thanks.
