I am trying to batch-load a tab-separated CSV file:
psql -h lolek -U tes -d stockmarket -c "copy history from
'/tmp/FTSE.csv' CSV";
ERROR: could not open file "/tmp/FTSE.csv" for reading: No such file or
directory
The file exists. Do I need to escape the quotes?
From the "-h" option I assume that the server is not on the local
machine and hence the file is not available to the server. You need to
do something like this:
psql -h lolek -U tes -d stockmarket -c "copy history from STDIN CSV" <
/tmp/FTSE.csv
This is pretty ingenious!
Just a few minor problems:
- how does COPY know which column is which?
- how do I specify DELIMITER as TAB?
