Hi, I want to import from a .txt file, I usually use: COPY noticies FROM '/home/teixi/_6tm_/_elbulli/premsai.txt' USING DELIMITERS '|' \g a) If table 'noticies' has a date row and is null on data file it claims: Unable to import date filed '' so how to admit date fields null? b) When there are some 'carriage returns' on a field in the data file is understood as a new |row1data1|row1data2|row1data3|^M |row2data1^M stillrow2data1|row2data2|row2data2|^M is interpreted as a 3 row data file when in reallity is a 2 row data file. how could I handle this when importing ? bests from barcelona, jaume teixi ps: weather loops between 5ºC to 30ºC, crazy.
