Hi!
This problem happens to v7.2.1 in Linux.
I drop a table column by editing table structure in
exported file(by pg_dump).
This table contains 27811 rows in exported file.
Now I do:
pgsql MyDatabase<ExportedDatabase
It stops at:
NOTICE: copy: line 296, CopyReadNewline: extra
fields ignored
The CPU is idling.
Now I use vi to delete the exported table rows from
MyExportedDatabase so that:
in ExportedDatabase:
COPY "MyTable" FROM stdin;
\.
in ExportedTable:
COPY "MyTable" FROM stdin;
....
....
(27811 rows)
\.
Now I import the database again:
pgsql MyDatabase<ExportedDatabase
This is ok. Then,
psql MyDatabase <MyTable
The result is the same - it stops at row 296.
The following procedure finally works.
in ExportedDatabase:
COPY "MyTable" FROM stdin;
\.
in ExportedTable:
....
....
(27811 rows)
psql MyDatabase<ExportedDatabase
psql MyDatabase
(Then, in psql prompt, type "copy MyTable from
'/tmp/MyTable'")
I once suspected that some characters in
ExportedDatabase confues pgsql. However, it proves
this assumption being not true because importing
database from ExportedDatabase works just fine if I
don't remove that last unwanted table column.
