[GENERAL] Syntax Error Inserting From STDIN?
I am trying to run the following: COPY departments (id, issue_id, title, description, feature_type) FROM stdin; 23 4 Local BuzzThings to do, people to see, places to go. aspen I get back: COPY departments (id, issue_id, title, description, feature_type) FROM stdin; 23 4 Local BuzzThings to do, people to see, places to go. aspen ERROR: syntax error at or near 23 at character 80 What am I doing wrong? I am on 8.1.1... The table is defined as: --++ -- id | integer| not null default issue_id | integer| title| character varying(255) | description | character varying(255) | feature_type | character varying(255) | Thx. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings

Interesting. How would I go about solving that? I inserted an extra line between the two, no dice.

Scott's right that it looks like the connection isn't getting switched into COPY mode at the right instant, but you haven't given us any hint about why that might be happening. regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match

quick answer, try a different editor. Are you editing in the same environment as the database is in, or are you editing on windows and feeding the copy data in on another platform?

Everything was on OS X. Looks like it was a problem with spaces vs. tabs. Anyway, I went through and fixed all the lines and everything went in. We had a strange problem restoring a 8.0.4 dump to a 8.1.1 server and this was the last of the data that had to be re-imported.
