I believe the cr/lf was the problem. I reran the original query:
SELECT
tblFDBMono.SequenceNumber,
tblFDBMono.SectionCode,
tblFDBMono.LineText
FROM
tblPEMDrugLink,
tblFDBMono
WHERE
(tblPEMDrugLink.MonographId = tblFDBMono.MonographId) AND
(VersionId = 'FDB-PE') AND
(Category = 'PEM') AND
(tblPEMDrugLink.DrugId = 'DG-5039')
ORDER BY
tblFDBMono.SequenceNumber
And was returned the results I expected. Sweetness. Damned stupid that
it took me this long to figure this out ... I have the PostgreSQL book,
but I must have missed the section where it talked about COPY ... FROM
only taking the LF and leaving the CR. I knew the files were exported
in 'DOS' format (according to vi) ... and in the back of my mind I
thought that could screw things up. Hrmpf. At least I got it figured out.
Thanx a ton, guys.
