Re: COPY command

This sounds as if the last character in each line might be a delimiter (a ",") which is standard for data unloaded from
somesources; if this is the case try removing it and your data should load. Or you may have a comma in a character
fieldand that is throwing off the count for the line in question ?

Hi,

u have any idea/solutions ??  the command that i've running as below :

   dwnc=# copy biosadm.custdo_temp
dwnc-# from '/home/bios/customer_data/CustomerDO_new.CSV'
