Hi all, In migrating an application from sql server to Postgres, I created a ruby script that extracts csv files from sql server (from a windows box), then SCPs them into a directory (/home/ruby_process) on the server running Postgres (a Fedora core 8) and finally runs the Postgres COPY command for each of the csv files.
When the script runs the COPY commnand, I get the following error (for the genders table): ERROR C42501 M could not open file "/home/ruby_process/genders.csv" for reading: Permission denied Fcopy.c L1694 RCopyFrom (RuntimeError) My question is, what are the set of permissions required to perform a postgres copy? I've set the permissions on the directory so that the postgres group owns the directory and has read and execute permissions, as follows: drwxrwxr-x 3 ruby_process postgres I have also tried moving the files to /tmp and performing the copy from there, unsuccesfuly. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks, -Harold
