Hi... Postgres 7.3
I'm using the copy command to fill my tables. I've got this file with the data with delimiter '\t' and 'isnull' for nulls as follows: copy mytable FROM '/usr/share/postgresql/data1/skripte/Daten/mytable' using delimiters '\t' with null as 'isnull'; But I receive an error saying that 'the value is too long for type varying(1)' This because I am filling a column defined as numeric(1) with nulls. But if I insert some values into the table with 'insert', including nulls and then do copy mytable TO '/usr/share/postgresql/data1/skripte/Daten/mytable' using delimiters '\t' with null as 'isnull'; the file looks exactly the same as my original one. Am i missing something?? thanks! Carla This e-mail and any attachment is for authorised use by the intended recipient(s) only.
