With your Postgres distribution should have come a number of PDF files.
These are a far better source of information than the \h of psql. They can
be found in the /doc directory of the distribution tree. For your question,
look in the user.pdf file.
Briefly, the command would look like:
COPY table_name FROM '/foo/bar/myfile.txt' USING DELIMITERS ',';

Subject: [GENERAL] Importing a comma-delimited text file
What is the command to import data into a table from comma-delimited
text file?
Unfortunately, the psql on-line help (\h) does not provide a clear
explanation.
Thanks.
