[GENERAL] Importing data into database

How should I go about importing the contents of an Excel spreadsheet into a Postgres database table? I was considering a comma separated file, but am not sure how to import this into the database. Are there any other suggestions? Thanks Andrew

[GENERAL] Specifying date locales

2000-09-20 Thread Andrew . Mason
I have a timestamp field, into which I will be inserting UK style dates i.e. 31/3/2000. If I insert an ambiguous date i.e. 11/1/2000 postgresql seems to assume that it is in US format. How can I specify that the date will always be in UK format? Andrew Mason
