Take a look at the "CSV" option of "COPY". That should do what you're after.

You can also use pgloader, a great python tool.

You mean like psql?

\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV

or with a header:
\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV HEADER

or an alternate delimiter:
\copy tablename from csvfilename CSV delimiter '|'

or export data (tab-delimited):
copy foo to stdout CSV DELIMITER E'\t';

Cheers,
Steve
