1. comma is not an options separator { ...( option [, ...] ... } 2. FORMAT is not a kewyword {... FORMAT format_name ... }
Following two commands should be valid after synopsis, but they are not:
gis=# COPY gis_entity FROM '/tmp/podl_db_city.csv' DELIMITER ',', FORMAT csv; ERROR: syntax error at or near "," LINE 1: ..._entity FROM '/tmp/podl_db_city.csv' DELIMITER ',', FORMAT c...
^ gis=# COPY gis_entity FROM '/tmp/podl_db_city.csv' DELIMITER ',' FORMAT csv; ERROR: syntax error at or near "FORMAT" LINE 1: ...entity FROM '/tmp/podl_db_city.csv' DELIMITER ',' FORMAT csv...
The parentheses surrounding the options are not optional. Personally I like to include the WITH.
COPY gis_entity FROM 'file.csv' WITH ( FORMAT csv );
