I have a perl script to do this which you are welcome to if you want
it. I found problems using the:
COPY ... DELIMITER ',' ...
syntax because it didn't (seem to me to) handle data enclosed in quotes,
which might contain quotes and newlines. I.e. something like:
1,"Fred O'Neill said ""Hello!""
""Oh! Hi!"" said Elizabeth.",37,21/3/2000
I had a lot of this sort of stuff in my data, which was exported from a
Microsoft product. A perl script also let me handle nulls more
flexibly.
Regards,
Andrew.
