hi,

I can't seem to get the \copy command to work.

Here's my syntax:

GISCI# \copy gisp from 'd:/projects/gisp/gisp.csv' delimiter ','

ERROR extra data after last expected column Line 1


It is taking all of the fields and grouping them into one field, the .csv has about 4700 records, here is what the first two look like:

Jon,JF,Doe,GIS Coordinator,Miami University,Ohio,Oxford,OH,United States,10/25/02
Janet,,Doe,PhD Student and Professional Geologist,York University,Toronto,ON,Canada,9/25/07

The table has 9 fields mostly varchar and one date field.

I'm running 8.3 on Windows Vista Ultimate

thanks.

Andy
