Re: Is there a utility to load data?

pg_restore or copy. look in the documentation.

I import data from flat files usually this way:

psql dbname < file

The file contains a line before the data:

COPY "tablename" FROM stdin;
data....
\.

If your delimiter is something other than tab you must specify the
delimiter type this way:

COPY "tablename" FROM stdin USING DELIMITERS '|'; # this is using | as
the delimiter.
