Re: Using COPY

Joel,
    Just out of curiosity, how would that query to update the marker be
written?  It's very similar to something I'd like to do, but have been
unable to work out.
Thanks,
Peter Darley

Or, if that's tricky for you to do w/the conversion/output tools you have at
your disposal, turn the linebreaks into some unusual marker ("@@~@@") using
any tool (emacs, perl, even Microsoft Word will do), pull the data in using
COPY, and once in pgsql, you can fix this with a query.
