Hi guys,

I'm exporting some data for testing purpose.

    COPY (SELECT
            name_first
            name_last,
            email,
            company
    FROM
            clients
    )
    TO '/var/lib/pgsql/test1.csv' DELIMITER ',' csv HEADER QUOTE '"';



 cat /var/lib/pgsql/test1.csv

    "","",hiddenemail@hotmail.com
    <mailto:hiddenemail@hotmail.com>,"",John Wayne

In your COPY you have fields and in the CSV file you have five.
Are you looking at the correct file?

See how the email and the company aren't into two "?

Have no idea what you are trying to say.

hiddenemail@hotmail.com looks like a correct email to me.

Maybe if you show what the data is in the table?

*What I need is:*

    "","","hiddenemail@hotmail.com
    <mailto:hiddenemail@hotmail.com>","","John Wayne"


I thought that by putting QUOTE the COPY would do that?

Is there any way I can put the " into those fields?

Cheers

Patrick
