\COPY customer(name, location, status , c_type , bill_attention , bill_addresse , bill_address_1 , bill_address_2 ,
bill_city, bill_state , bill_country , ship_attention , ship_addresse , ship_address_1 , ship_address_2, ship_city
,ship_state ) from '/home/stan/pm_db/live_data/ready/customer.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER ;
and here is the function
CREATE FUNCTION fix_customer_types_case()
RETURNS trigger AS $$
BEGIN
if NEW.c_type IS NOT NULL
THEN
NEW.c_type := upper(cast( NEW.c_type AS TEXT));
END IF ;
if NEW.status IS NOT NULL
THEN
RAISE NOTICE 'Called With %', NEW.status;
NEW.status := upper(cast( NEW.status AS TEXT));
END IF ;
RAISE NOTICE 'Left With With %', NEW.status;
RAISE NOTICE 'Left With With %', NEW.c_type;
return NEW;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE PLPGSQL;
if I do an insert this function is called. However it IS NOT called for the
above copy command. How can I fix that?
This line from the page you referenced implies this should work, but i must be
doing something wrong:
COPY FROM will invoke any triggers and check constraints on the destination
table. However, it will not invoke rules.

I discovered that the function was not getting defined, and fixed that. Then I
rashly posted to the list that it was fixed, as i was certain that was the
only issue. But after I reported that, I tried testing, with he results in
this email.
Works for INSERT, but does not fire on this \copy command.
