Tom, the file was created in linunx and is utf-8. Here is the rake task that created the table: class CreateGeoData ActiveRecord::Migration def self.up create_table :geo_data do |t| t.column :zip_code, :text t.column :latitude, :float8 t.column :longitude, :float8

Tom, rake is a rails command, also after doing a \d geo_data it does show that it's adding an id column before everything else. I'm guessing my best bet is going to be creating the table by hand as I have no idea how to tell it not to create the extra field. Thanks for the help everyone, figured
