I am new to PostgresSQL and I am trying to populate a table with data from a
CSV file.
I have PostgresSQL loaded on a windows XP machine with multiple hard drives.
The CSV file was generated from Excel 2007.
I have a couple of fields with embedded commas as show in the second line of
the data.
This is the table structure:
CREATE TABLE mp3.songs
(
"Name" character varying[] NOT NULL,
"Artist" character varying[] NOT NULL,
"Composer" character varying[],
"Album" character varying[] NOT NULL,
"Grouping" character varying[],
"Genre" character varying[],
"Size" integer,
"Time" integer,
"Disc Number" integer,
"Disc Count" integer,
"Track Number" integer,
"Track Count" integer,
"Year" date,
"Date Modified" date,
"Date Added" date,
"Bit Rate" integer,
"Sample Rate" integer,
"Volume Adjustment" integer,
"Kind" character varying[],
"Equalizer" character varying[],
"Comments" character varying[],
"Play Count" integer,
"Last Played" date,
"Skip Count" integer,
"Last Skipped" date,
"My Rating" character varying[],
"Location" character varying[],
CONSTRAINT songs_pkey PRIMARY KEY ("Name", "Artist", "Album")
)
WITH (OIDS=FALSE)
TABLESPACE mp3;
ALTER TABLE mp3.songs OWNER TO postgres;
Here are the first 4 lines from my CSV file:
Name,Artist,Composer,Album,Grouping,Genre,Size,Time,Disc Number,Disc
Count,Track Number,Track Count,Year,Date Modified,Date Added,Bit Rate,Sample
Rate,Volume Adjustment,Kind,Equalizer,Comments,Play Count,Last Played,Skip
Count,Last Skipped,My Rating,Location

Here is my COPY command:
Copy mp3.songs from 'G:/PostgreSQL/8.3/data/RecAdded.csv' with DELIMITER AS ','
CSV HEADER QUOTE AS '"'
Here is the error I am getting:
ERROR: array value must start with "{" or dimension information
CONTEXT: COPY songs, line 2, column Name: "Talking About"
********** Error **********
ERROR: array value must start with "{" or dimension information
SQL state: 22P02
Context: COPY songs, line 2, column Name: "Talking About"
I think that the problem may be simple but I cannot find any references or
examples in the Archives to help me discover a solution.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
