copy from ignores \,

Hi,

i tried to copy a german text  file  into a table “imp” using copy from.

SET client_encoding TO LATIN1; -- german umlaute

Copy imp from ‘filepath/filename.txt’ delimiter as ‘,’ Null as ‘\n’;

As you can see the “text” contains commas escaped by a backslash.

But copy from ignores the \, an treat them as a  separator

Is this correct ?

Do I miss something.

Thx for the help!

Create table imp(

Id smallint,

numberx int4,

Text varchar(255)

)

…..

458,9009009,sometext1\,sometext2\,sometext3

……
