Dear All, I have a table which has a field that is of type bit varying.
When I do a direct INSERT with , say, X'1F', everything works fine. But in this table I have to insert several tens of thousands of records each time, so I decided to use COPY command. And if I build a file like this (columns separated by tab char) primary_key1 X'1F' primary_key2 X'1FF' ... The system will complain on the first line, saying that ' is not an hexadecimal digit. I tried to remove the single quotes and it worked fine... With values like this : X1F, X1FF, etc Is the system supposed to behave like this, or have I gone sideways somewhere on this? My copy command is just this : COPY t_unique_browsers ("IDUniqueBrowsers","browsersSet") FROM $file$C:\temp\pg\totalAccount.sql$file$; Also, SELECT version() says : "PostgreSQL 8.3.7, compiled by Visual C++ build 1400" Thanx in advance for your help Best, Oliveiros
