The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 7709 Logged by: Timothy Garnett Email address: tgarn...@panjiva.com PostgreSQL version: 9.1.2 Operating system: Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS Description:
psql \copy terminates at \. by itself in a line even if the format is csv and the \. is inside a quoted region. This means that some values can't be round-tripped by psql \copy. Tested and the native postgresql COPY handles this case correctly. Ex: =# CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE test_table AS (SELECT 1 AS id, ' \. '::text AS data, 2 AS num_data); =# \copy test_table to '/tmp/dummy.csv' csv =# TRUNCATE TABLE test_table; =# \copy test_table from '/tmp/dummy.csv' csv ERROR: unterminated CSV quoted field CONTEXT: COPY test_table, line 1: "1," " (postgresql COPY can handle this case though: =# COPY test_table TO '/tmp/TEST_DATA.csv' WITH (FORMAT CSV); =# TRUNCATE TABLE test_table; =# COPY test_table FROM '/tmp/TEST_DATA.csv' WITH (FORMAT CSV); works fine) -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
