Hi all, i get the following error when attempting to do what's described in the title:
mytest=> \copy "public"."mytable4" ("my_int", "my_string") FROM data.dump DELIMITER E'\t' NULL 'NULL' CSV HEADER ERROR: unterminated CSV quoted field CONTEXT: COPY mytable4, line 3: "54 "hello a \great d"
I'm not necessarily trying to insert a \0, i'd actually like to be able to insert any byte without resorting to using a bytea. i understood that this was what SQL_ASCII was intended for! http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-copy.html also states that the \NNN or \xNN format works but I was never able to actually work (it stores "\", then "N" then ...)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i've already spent hours on that matter..! Thanks a lot in advance, Anthony
PS: some context that may help: psql (8.4.7, server 8.3.11) mytest=> SHOW SERVER_ENCODING; SQL_ASCII mytest=> SHOW CLIENT_ENCODING; SQL_ASCII mytest=> CREATE TABLE "public"."mytable4" ( "my_int" integer, "my_string" character varying(64) ); cat data.dump | od -c 0000000 m y _ i n t \t m y _ s t r i n g 0000020 \n 5 4 \t " h e l l o \0 w o r l d 0000040 " \n
