Problem with COPY FROM/TO and counters

[Jaroslav Kameník]

Hi guys,

we are making a simple tool which allows us to transform table
via COPY TO -> drop table -> transform schema/data -> create table -> COPY
FROM.

It works well in most cases, but we have problem with loading of counter
columns, it fails with "ParseError - argument for 's' must be a string,
 given up without retries.".
It works well if the same column is defined as int.

Are we doing something wrong or encountered C* error?


Thanks,

Jaroslav
