Обсуждение: Import csv

I'm away from my PostgreSQL book (me SQL bible) and I'm faced with importing
csv (comma separated vales) file where I had setup all my scripts to tsv
(tab separated vales).  Yes I can use an editor, as such and change the
commas, but that's not the question.

How do I take a basic csv file and insert it into my table (named
dwnldstockanal)?  Just feel that this is something that I should know, but
me scratches me head.

devtest2=# \h copy
Command:     COPY
Description: copy data between files and tables
Syntax:
COPY [ BINARY ] table [ WITH OIDS ]
    FROM { 'filename' | stdin }
    [ [USING] DELIMITERS 'delimiter' ]
    [ WITH NULL AS 'null string' ]
COPY [ BINARY ] table [ WITH OIDS ]
    TO { 'filename' | stdout }
    [ [USING] DELIMITERS 'delimiter' ]
    [ WITH NULL AS 'null string' ]

Hence

COPY t1 FROM '<filename>' USING DELIMITERS ',';
