Re: How to read data from a file?

Sorry, I meant to add this to the post quoted below.  I'm still trying
to find the mother-lode of useful PostgreSQL info for beginners.  I
looked at *4* PG books yesterday at the bookstore (Douglas & Douglas,
Momjian, Stinson, and the one published by O'Reilly).  *None* of them
answered the question quoted below (or if they did, I couldn't find
their answers using the index and the table of contents, which is just
as bad as not giving the answer at all), so I decided none was worth
buying.  (I had been warned about how poor PG books are, so this did
not come as a surprise.)

   Is there a way to initialize tables by reading the data from a regular
   text file?

   Thanks!
