Hello!
You only need to put an "\" in front of "copy". It is an internal command. And you don't need ";" at the end
it would be:
bpsimple=# \copy dns_ip from 'dns.txt'
\.
bpsimple=# SELECT * FROM dns_ip; dns | ip
---------+---------------aeomc04 | 10.121.4.157somcmd1 | 10.121.23.57aeomc05 | 10.121.4.162gsmomc6 | 10.121.4.154
(4 rows)
\. is the response and tells you that it worked.
I actually tried it with "\copy dns_ip from dns.txt", without the
quotes and it also worked perfectly.
