It must be internal error: two reasons: 1.) the original file is OK (I checked with grep + there is no network envolved) 2.) Error has strange patern: it substitutes 0x31 with 0x21 (1 with !) also 0x34 with 0x24 (4 with $) and 0x39 with 0x29 (9 with ) )
so I guess you are right. can you suggest some tools for FreeBSD to test RAM, because I think the hard disk is ok. p.s. right now I am testing it with splited file thanks Nikola ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Lane" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Nikola Ivacic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 4:24 PM Subject: Re: [SQL] COPY command problems > "Nikola Ivacic" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > Has somebody experienced difficulties using COPY command on large files. > > I have a large (250MB) file and each time I insert records I've got one or = > > more (< 30 of cca 1079000) corrupted > > records.
