Hi,
Here are the variations of slashes, sloshes and speech marks which have achieved the same (failed) outcome:
COPY (select * from file) TO '”C:\\Dev\\test.csv”';
COPY (select * from file) TO '”C:\Dev\test.csv”';
COPY (select * from file) TO '”C:/Dev/test.csv”';
COPY (select * from file) TO 'C:/Dev/test.csv';
COPY (select * from file) TO 'C:\Dev\test.csv';
COPY (select * from file) TO 'C:\\Dev\\test.csv';
COPY (select * from file) TO '\"C:\\Dev\\test.csv\"';
COPY (select * from file) TO '\"C:\Dev\test.csv\"';
COPY (select * from file) TO '\"C:/Dev/test.csv\"';
Is there somewhere that I can check what is actually being passed to the shell?
Or would I need to debug psql.exe?
cheers
Steven
Ps (thanks for the speedy response!)

It might be the /
Try \ instead

I am using pgAdmin 14.1 and then tried with pgAdmin 16.1
I have tried:
COPY (select * from file) TO '”C:/Dev/test.csv”';
And get the error:
ERROR: relative path not allowed for COPY to file
SQL state: 42602
Also, when I try:
COPY temp_import FROM E'"C:/Dev/exponare_data_mgr/exponare_filelist.txt"';
I get the following error:
ERROR: could not open file ""C:/Dev/exponare_data_mgr/exponare_filelist.txt"" for reading: No such file or directory
SQL state: 58P01
I suspect that pgAdmin is not passing the filename in a manner, that the shell on windows7 ,interprets correctly.
I have also tried the same commands from the psql console and achieve the same results.
Under linux the commands work well.
Is there a suggestion for things I change/check to get COPY to work?
