I got an error message: "extra data after last column." All my spreadsheets have an "end of data" column that has /r/n in each cell. When I import a CSV file into a MySQL table, everything beyond /r/n is ignored. Is there some way to tell PostgreSQL to stop at /r/n? How does it know when to stop ignoring and start the next record?
I wondered about that also. I did find this: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/load-data.html LINES TERMINATED BY
You could write a little awk or perl script to give the PROGRAM option of copy, but you can't do that within pgAdmin. Cheers, Jeff
