I am connecting to a remote machine using (both local client and
remote server are RedHat EL 5.3):
psql -d mydb -h remote.machine.example.com -U myuser -W
After giving the password, the connection is made and I can
list/create tables etc. Now I want to copy a csv file, which is on the
local client machine, into a table on the remote server machine. I try
to do so via:
COPY myschm.mytb FROM '/home/myuser/myfile.csv' WITH CSV header
QUOTE AS '\"';
which clearly doesn't work, giving: ERROR: could not open file ......
No such file or directory
I could transfer the file from my local client to the remote host, but
I would prefer not to. This creates a syncing headache between the
local and remote machines. Similarly when copying an existing table to
disk, I would prefer it to write to the local client's disk rather
than to the remote server's disk.
Is any/both of these possible?
