Hi,
I have a database in PostgreSQL 12 on Windows. It has > 8,000,000 rows.
I want to copy this database to PostgreSQL 10 on Slackware Linux. I used
this command to get the data out of the Windows database:
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin\pg_dump.exe"
--file="C:\Users\Nightrunner\DOCUMENTS\programming\pg_out\ebird_sptl_all.dump"
--host="localhost" --port="5432" --username="postgres" --password
--verbose --format=c --no-owner --no-privileges --dbname="ebird_work"
--table="p_loc.ebd_sptl"
On Slackware, I first:
su postgres
Then try:
psql ebirds
SET SEARCH_PATH TO p_loc;
COPY p_loc.ebird_sptl FROM
'/nt-d/projects_and_data/ebd_OR/ebird_sptl_all.dump';
That fails with
missing data for column "COMMON_NAME"
I understand this means there is a problem with one or more rows in the
column referenced. This is a column of text. How do I find the error(s)
in question?
Cheers,
John
