When issueing a COPY command like this one
--------------------
COPY tablename FROM '/var/www/hdberat.tab' WITH NULL AS '';
--------------------
The error-message in pgadminIII is quite short
********** Error ***********************************************
FEHLER: fehlende Daten für Spalte »termin_dauer_eingabe«
SQL state: 22P04
-----------------------------------------------------------------
(For those who don't understand German: it says: missing data for column
xy). In PHP-pgadmin the errormessage is much more meaningful, because it
adds the CONTEXT-line, where it actually tells me the number of the line
("Zeile") in the source-file, where the error occurred:
****************************************************************
FEHLER: fehlende Daten für Spalte »termin_dauer_eingabe«
CONTEXT: COPY fm_hdberat, Zeile 10421: »admin1 Gründler Pius archiviert "Texteingabe" "Texteingabe"
"Texteingabe" "Texteingabe" "Textein...«
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It'd be a big help, if pgadmin was as verbose as php-pgadmin.
