However, what if I wanted to assign a default value during import to
populate the County field? In my dreams it would be something like this
(which does not work):
COPY salaries (Town, 'County Name', Supervisor, Salary)
FROM 'C:\salaries.csv'
WITH (FORMAT CSV);
Any ideas?
Import to a temp table, fill in the default value, then copy to the final table, something like this:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE salaries_import(LIKE (salaries) );
COPY salaries_import(town, supervisor, salary)
FROM '...',
WITH (format csv);
INSERT salaries(town, country, supervisor, salary)
SELECT town, 'County Name', supervisor, salary
FROM salaries_import;
Hope that helps!
