By modifying COPY: COPY IGNORE ERRORS or some such would instruct COPY to drop (and log) rows that contain malformed data. That is, rows with too many or too few columns, rows that result in constraint violations, and rows containing columns where the data type's input function raises an error. The last case is the only thing that would be a bit tricky to implement, I think: you could use PG_TRY() around the InputFunctionCall, but I guess you'd need a subtransaction to ensure that you reset your state correctly after catching an error. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
