Обсуждение: Importing data
I'm new to Postgres(or otherwise I probably wouldn't be sending this), and I've gone through the HTML docs online, and looked at the man pages, but I can't find anything about importing ODBC compliant data into postgres ... I assumed this was possible ... am I wrong? If not, could someone point me in the right direction? Thanx in advance, Jeff Napolitano

The first is sometimes down and I don't know how often it's updated, but the second will have the files you need. I successfully used it to create tables in M$ Access and then shuttled the data to PostgreSQL. http://postodbc.magenet.com http://www.insightdist.com/psqlodbc/ Good luck!

Or client application? Where is the data that you want to import?

Or client application The data I am import is in a textfile, with comma delimited fields, in the form: "field", "field2", "field3", ... Each "entry" is on its own line. Is this enough information...? I'm afraid I don't know the first step here, but I imagine there MUST be a way to dump this data into Postgres > Where is the data that you want to import?

Odd, haven't got a clue where these questions came from :)

Check out the 'copy' command (there is a man page for it)...it
allows you to import, by default, TAB delimited files, but there is a
'using delimiter' extension for doing others...
