The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6527
Logged by: Samuel Gilbert
Email address: samuel.gilbert@ec.gc.ca
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.4
Operating system: Linux
Description:=20=20=20=20=20=20=20=20
There is an error in the syntax of the COPY statement in the documentation
for versions 9.0.x and 9.1.x. I tested on 9.0.4 and 9.1.3.
According to the documentation, given the table exists and is compatible
with the CSV file, the following statement should work :
COPY improve_station FROM '/local/improve.csv' FORMAT CSV HEADER TRUE;
However, it doesn't work. Instead I get the following error :
ERROR: syntax error at or near "FORMAT"
LINE 1: ...ns FROM '/local/improve.csv' FORMAT CSV...
^
After trying a few trials and errors, I managed to find that ommiting FORMAT
gave me another error instead :
COPY improve_stations FROM '/local/improve.csv' CSV HEADER TRUE;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "TRUE"
LINE 1: ...M '/local/improve.csv' CSV HEADER TRUE;
^
Removing the boolean value (TRUE) actually works. This means that there are
at least two errors in the syntax specification in the documentation.
Instead of "FORMAT format_name", it should be "[ TEXT | CSV | BINARY ]" and
"HEADER [ boolean ]" should be "[ HEADER ]".
