This is pretty ingenious!
Just a few minor problems:
- how does COPY know which column is which?
- how do I specify DELIMITER as TAB?



See:

Thank you for the links. I had read of the manual entry for the COPY command and I know that I need something like

psql -h lolek -U tes -d stockmarket -c "copy history from STDIN DELIMITER AS TAB CSV" < /tmp/FTSE.csv

My problem is how to specify the tab character on the command line

"copy history from STDIN DELIMITER AS '\t' CSV"
is the answer

Also, it's nopt happy about the date format : 2007/02/09

The correct delimiter solved my date problem, too.
