Try:
COPY imagineoptions FROM E'C:\\Options20081112.csv' ...

Hello All:
I am attempting to import data from a CSV file.
The command I am using is as follows:
copy imagineoptions from 'C:\\Options20081112.csv' DELIMITERS
',' CSV ;
I get the following:
WARNING: nonstandard use of \\ in a string literal
LINE 1: copy imagineoptions from 'C:\\Options20081112.csv'
DELIM...

HINT: Use the escape string syntax for backslashes, e.g., E'\\'.
ERROR: could not open file "C:\Options20081112.csv" for reading: No
such file or directory
SQL state: 58P01
If I run DIR at the command prompt I get:
C:\>dir C:\Options20081112.csv
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 1824-0333
Directory of C:\

1 File(s) 1,300,220 bytes
0 Dir(s) 40,459,689,984 bytes free

I have tried many variations of slashes and back-slashes, but nothing
works.
I am working within pgAdmin under Windows XP.
Please help me preserve my sanity. I do not see that I am doing wrong.
But I am certain it is very simple.
Best Regards
Kevin Duffy
