I came across an issue that looks like a bug in COPY. There are many similar posts, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13485030/strange-postgresql-value-too-long-for-type-character-varying500, without a good unswer.
Simplified steps to reproduce the issue: 1. CREATE TABLE TEST (description varchar(10)); 2. Insert value 'Galaxy\040Tab' using command COPY TEST(description) FROM stdin WITH DELIMITER '|' CSV. The following error is returned: value too long for type character varying(10) Of course real life scenarios are more complex and different characters were used (\042 and \005). Is this a bug, or an incorrect use of COPY/CSV? Thank you Konstantin
