Hi Oliver & Craig,
Yes, I tried that. I thought that it would work. It didn't.
However... I've just tried again and it has! Damm. The only thing that has changed from before was I've been playing around with the source CSV file so it must have been formatted incorrectly or a comma in the wrong place or something.
Thanks all,
James

Howdy, James,
Have you tried adding column names?
COPY master_table_interpolated (date_time, person_id) ...
?
Best,
Oliver

Subject: [NOVICE] Really easy problem...
Hi everyone,
I'm struggling with something which I'm sure should be REALLY easy. But I can't quite get it to work. I've got a CSV file with two columns which looks like the below:
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 1
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 2
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 3
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 4
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 5
I want to copy the data into this table:
CREATE TABLE master_table_interpolated(
date_time TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
person_id INTEGER,
person_location GEOMETRY);
So the data from the CSV file should go into the first two columns of my table, and leave the final one blank. I use this query to pull the CSV file in, however I can't figure out how to map the data to the correct columns in my table.
COPY master_table_interpolated from 'C:/Program Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/basetime.csv' DELIMITERS ',' CSV;
Ideas please?
Thanks
James
