Hi all

First post here from a total postgresql newbie.  Many years working on SQL
Server, but ...

I'm trying to copy in some csv data.

My first column is, confusingly, called datetime and has datatype timestamp
without time zone.
This is followed by flow_m3hr (real), sitename (integer) and pmac (integer).

Here's my command:

ST_mpcc=# COPY st_mpcc_data FROM 'C:\blahblah\ST_Mpcc_CSV_sample.csv';

and here's my error:

ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "2008-07-11
03:00:00,0,10545079
,26739"
CONTEXT:  COPY st_mpcc_data, line 1, column datetime: "2008-07-11
03:00:00,0,105
45079,26739"

Does this imply it's trying to place the entire row of data into the first
field?

If so, how do I prevent it?

If not, what else is wrong?

Thanks for your help

Ian
