In CSV mode all characters are significant. A quoted value surrounded by white space, or any characters other than <literal>DELIMITER</>, will include those characters. This can cause errors if you import data from a system that pads CSV lines with white space out to some fixed width. If such a situation arises you might need to preprocess the CSV file to remove the trailing white space, before importing the data into Postgres.
Patch applied with pretty much this wording. cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
