The hack and slash Perl programmer in me says---
if you only plan to do this once, (like importing data), then
just write a Perl script that *generates* SQL code that does
your inserts, updates, or whatever. You can then execute
thsi with psql -f filename. But if you're trying to use
flat files pr
You can probably try to make a c extension that does open/close.

You can't --- and you should ask yourself hard questions about why your
system design needs that, or whether the data in question shouldn't be
inside the database to begin wit

cdate| ctime | countrycode | areacodex | success | carrier |
duration| phonenumber | areacode | pseq | loadno | frline | entity |
loaddate | loa

Chris,
Hmmph. People are in a bad mood this week; obviously few other people

which trades everything in flat files. Give Chris a break!
