Greetings,
great thanks to Paul Ramsey, Mr. Ramaswamy, Ulf Mehlig and
Peter Mount for their useful advices!
Well, now I have the following problem: base exported from
VFoxPro (with delimiters '|') contains russian characters
and command 'copy' produces the error:
// unreadable symbols are russian letters
rscexamdb=> copy exam with oids from '/opt2/home3/auricvision/db.txt'
using delimiters '|';
WARN:pg_atoi: error in "й РПЕЛ НЯМНБМШЛ РХОЮЛ ХМБЕЯРХЖХНММШУ
ОПНДСЙРНБ ПШМЙЮ ЖЕММШУ АСЛЮЦ НРМНЯЪРЯЪ:": can't parse "й
РПЕЛ НЯМНБМШЛ РХОЮЛ ХМБЕЯРХЖХНММШУ ОПНДСЙРНБ
ПШМЙЮ ЖЕММШУ АСЛЮЦ НРМНЯЪРЯЪ:"
rscexamdb=>
exam is table with fields char(1024), char(100), char(100),
char(100), char(100), int, int, int, int, int, int and I
can't imagine why the error is in 'pg_atoi' function -
it seems to be postgres tryes to convert first string of
data file to integer (althrouh first field in the table is
char(1024))!
What should I do with it? May be I should use copy the
file as binary one?
P.S.: command '\copy' (\copy exam from db.txt) in psql says
'Broken pipe.' and just quits.
