I have an script with many "\copy" commands. For example: \copy privilegios from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan Server/database/load/privilegios.dat' \copy privilegios_de_usuarios from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan Server/database/load/privilegios_de_usuarios.dat' \copy classificacoes from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan Server/database/load/classificacoes.dat' \copy tipo_de_produto from '/work/eclipse-workspace/Canoan Server/database/load/tipos.dat'
This lines are OK. But when I remove the preceding backslash from them I get the error that you mentioned. Harold A.
