If your file is TAB delimited, you can simply do:
\copy tablename from 'some file'
To get details in psql, do:
psql mydatabase
and at the prompt:
\h copy

Hey guys,
To start, I need to mention that I did read chapter 39-3 on triggers and do
understand how they work, in the current (9.0) manuals (OK, maybe the manuals
are RC1, but the content is the same as in 8.4... :).
I have a simple table, person:
pe_id | bigint | not n
wnes the phone
and so on.
How would I declare that function?
Thanks.
best regards,
chris

Hi all,
I need to implement "Find all hospitals in a 5 mile radius". Say I have all
the coordinates on them stored in a table with the fields longitude and
latitude. Has anybody some sample code for that?

Suggestion: have an environment variable or a PostgreSQL parameter to

Hi all,
How can I get more than one value back from a function?
I have a situation here, where a function needs to return a value - but also
needs to indicate from which type of record the value comes.
The most elegant would be something like the 2 functions listed below. They
don't work, since
Well, consider this:
You have a customer list, each customer with his own unique customer number.
Each of your customers has at least one address but some of them have 2 or
more. Therefore, you have to create two tables, say one is called 'cust' the
other 'cust_addr'.
The 'cust_addr' table now ne

Hi all,
I have a table with about 6 million records in it.
I have 9 different indexes on the table (different people need to access it
differently)
If you look at the details below, you can see that it's selecting an index
which doesn't have the fields I'm searching with - and it takes for ever.
Josh,
Full Text Indexing
It will allow you to store text into a database and find portions of this
text again, based on a few words of the text in the record.
Say, for example, you want to store the bible in a PostGres database. You
will store these fields:
1. Book
2. Chapter
3. Verse
4. Verse t
e one or other
thing. I'd love to see pl/pgsql develop into what I saw the other day in the
Oracle PL/SQL book..

Hilkiah,
you could use any report writing tool which connects to databases via ODBC.
Download the Windows ODBC driver and install it. Set the '-i' flag on the
postmaster, set up the ODBC interface to PostGreSQL in Windows and you're
ready to fly :).
