1 milion data insertion

Hi fellows!

    I have tried to insert 1.000.000 of record to the following table;

--------------------------------------------------
zakal=# \d teste;
 codigo | bigint                 | not null
 nome   | character varying(100) |
--------------------------------------------------

    and I got these errors:

--------------------------------------------------
zakal$ psql -c "copy teste from 'teste.dat' using delimeters '|'"
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "delimeters"
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "delimeters"
zakal$ psql -c "copy teste from 'teste.dat' using delimiters '|'"

zakal$ pwd
/home/zakal/tmp
zakal$ psql -c "copy teste from '`pwd`/teste.dat' using delimiters '|'"

zakal$

----------------------------------------------------------------------

the log has overflowed.

    Ok, this was a test. I'd like to know what would be happen.
    But, from you, great PostGres DBA's, what is the best way to
insert a large number of data?
    Is there a way to turn off the log?
    Is there a way to commit each 100 records?

regards,
