I believe it's safer to not change anything to the normal "non-csv" text mode. The current doc says that \. will not be taken as data in this format. From https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-copy.html : Any other backslashed character that is not mentioned in the above table will be taken to represent itself. However, beware of adding backslashes unnecessarily, since that might accidentally produce a string matching the end-of-data marker (\.) or the null string (\N by default). These strings will be recognized before any other backslash processing is done. Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité https://postgresql.verite.pro/ Twitter: @DanielVerite
