I see what you are after and you solved the syntax problem I was having, but now I get the same error on a different line: ad,l'aldosa,L'Aldosa,02,42.5833333,1.6333333 I guess it considers that line quoted now. In other words, some lines may have both single and double quotes involved, like this: kz,otdeleniye imeni dvadtsat' vtorogo parts"yezda,Otdeleniye Imeni Dvadtsat' Vtorogo Parts"yezda,10,41.47,69.1280556 Is there any way to tell Postgresql that a CSV file has no quotes around each field, and that each field may have single or double quotes or both? ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
