I assume you already have a .pg file, which I assume is a database dump in the “custom” format.
PostgreSQL can load data in CSV format using the
COPYstatement. So the absolute simplest thing to do is just add your data to the database this way.If you really must edit your dump, and the file is in the “custom” format, there is unfortunately no way to edit the file manually. However, you can use
pg_restoreto create a plain SQL backup from the custom format and edit that instead.pg_restorewith no-dargument will generate an SQL script for insertion.
