Question

I am new to PostgresSQL and i am trying to load a data of the following format:

1,57000000000A,A,EN,0:01,male,hahaha,"Address is address",1234567,Not Applicable,,
walk in and 
scream,papa,00:20:54,02:17:41,ABC,00:20:54,02:17:41,musical,farm,,cody,9,bad 
boy,,,,,X,,rest,,,musical is muscal,John Kotters ,,,2011-01-01

There are more than 10k records and some columns may have NULL data. When i try to do this:

COPY ane FROM 'C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/8.4/csv-data/my-data.csv' WITH
DELIMITER ',';

I am getting the following error:ERROR: extra data after last expected column
SQL state: 22P04

I have checked the columns and they are ok. This means that no columns are left out.

Hope someone can help. Advance thanks.

Answer 1

It is supposed to be

 COPY ane FROM 'C:/Program Files (x86)/PostgreSQL/8.4/csv-data/my-data.csv' WITH
 DELIMITER ',' CSV;

It worked for me
