Обсуждение: documentation for SQL "COPY" says "FORMAT"
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-copy.html Description: the documentation for the copy command (since version 9.0) says to use the keyword "FORMAT" , this keyword should be omitted (eg: say "CSV" instead of "FORMAT CSV") . It also says the default is "text" but specifying "text" is a syntax error.

I'm pretty sure the docs are correct. You should provide the exact commands you think should work and the error message you receive when you execute said commands.

I think probably the OP is confusing the current COPY syntax with the
obsolete form documented at the bottom of the COPY page.
