Hello.
We are moving a database from informix to Postgresql.
To do so we do an unload from Informix and copy to postgresql.
Informix unloads with a delimiter also after the last field in a record.
This is no problem when doing a copy to Postgresql 7.2
You get a warning (to many fields) but the copy process continues.
In 7.4 however the copy stops .
Does anyone know how to proceed the copy or a fast way to remove the last
character
from the unload files.
They are anyhow to big to handle with vi.
sed 's/.$//' file > newfile
Always test before using, it's off the top of my head..
