I have an script with many "\copy" commands. For example:
\copy privilegios from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan
Server/database/load/privilegios.dat'
\copy privilegios_de_usuarios from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan
Server/database/load/privilegios_de_usuarios.dat'
\copy classificacoes from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan
Server/database/load/classificacoes.dat'
\copy tipo_de_produto from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan
Server/database/load/tipos.dat'
This lines are OK. But when I remove the preceding backslash from them I get
the error that you mentioned.

Hi all,
In migrating an application from sql server to Postgres, I created a ruby
script that extracts csv files from sql server (from a windows box), then
SCPs them into a directory (/home/ruby_process) on the server running
Postgres (a Fedora core 8) and finally runs the Postgres COPY command for
each of the csv files.
When the script runs the COPY commnand, I get the following error (for the
genders table):
ERROR C42501 M could not open file "/home/ruby_process/genders.csv"
for
reading: Permission denied Fcopy.c L1694 RCopyFrom (RuntimeError)
My question is, what are the set of permissions required to perform a
postgres copy?
I've set the permissions on the directory so that the postgres group owns
the directory and has read and execute permissions, as follows:
drwxrwxr-x 3 ruby_process postgres
I have also tried moving the files to /tmp and performing the copy from
there, unsuccesfuly.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,
-Harold
Are you connecting to the database as a superuser to run the COPY command?
