The situation is, I have the DB class which will return the connection object that is created using the PDO class. And am using that object to perform the db operations. ie: $DB->prepare("")
Further I have the data in a CSV file which has to be inserted into the table.
Here is the command that I have used to import that data:
$DB->exec("\COPY table1 FROM data.csv WITH DELIMITERS ','");
And this dosen't work, it throws an error "error near "\" char 1 along with the command
But the same command works fine on the psql prompt.
Thanks again, - Babu

<?php $conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=foo"); pg_query($conn, "create table bar (a int4, b char(16), d float8)"); pg_query($conn, "copy bar from stdin"); pg_put_line($conn, "3\thello world\t4.5\n"); pg_put_line($conn, "4\tgoodbye world\t7.11\n"); pg_put_line($conn, "\\.\n"); pg_end_copy($conn); ?>
