Newbie "Copy From" not working - Mailing list pgsql-general

For the past few months we have been experimenting with using MySQL with Apache
OFBiz. However, we are not sure that we can live with the performance.

We have a large dataset that we wanted to import into PostgreSQL, but it seems
to fail no matter what we do. We tried ever nuance we could to get this file loaded.

Admin_=# COPY DATA_IMPORT_CUSTOMER FROM '/tmp/sold.pg' delimiter '|' null '';
ERROR:  missing data for column "processed_timestamp"
CONTEXT:  COPY data_import_customer, line 1: "(xxx) xxx-xxxx||Mary|Smith|76
Crest Street||Jersey City|NJ|07302-0000|New Jersey|USA||XXX|XXX-1..."

The data looks like this

(xxx) xxx-xxxx||Mary|Smith|76 Crest Street||Jersey City|NJ|07302-0000|New J
ersey|USA||XXX|XXX-XXXX|||||||40401234567890|0604|.00|0.00|||||||||||||

The problem is I need to load a field that is allowed to be null with nothing
and it work....

                   Table "public.data_import_customer"
