in other words, ckr_sto.csv is not a csv file. it just has .csv at the end of its name. that's why psql tried to interpret the entire line as the first column: there were no commas. its contents should look something like: 4937880,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128790679,,,, 4939355,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128639345,,,, 4939744,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128684510,,,, 4939750,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128683100,,,, 4936360,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128567527,,,, 4940308,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128781329,,,, 4938006,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,4000128912554,,,, 4937457,12,2015-01-05,,2015-01-05 05:51:47,,,5000128426574,,,,
