Re: csv import error

Hi,

Quotation marks should be around both the name of
each and every column and their values.

As the columns names are all lower case. You may
wish to remove all quotation marks which is much
easier.

But character value needs quotation mark.

Also replace the semi-column as column separation
character with commas for sql insert statement.

What has happened here is that the values from CSV
are directly inserted into sql. It needs a little
bit of extra work.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards

Farjad Farid

Subject: [GENERAL] csv import error

Hello,

I'm trying to import data using a csv file,
but I got an error:

ERROR: column
"key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis"
of relation "assorb" does not exist
LINE 1: INSERT INTO
"info_pozzi_hydrocarbon"."assorb"
("key;daprof;a...

^

In statement:

INSERT INTO "info_pozzi_hydrocarbon"."assorb"
("key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis")
VALUES ('1001334;19.1;21;A;6;;;11')

My sql statement for the table that I would like
to populate is:

-- Table: info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb

-- DROP TABLE info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb;

CREATE TABLE info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb
(
key integer,
daprof double precision,
aprof double precision,
tipo character(1),
valore double precision,
note character(254),
oid serial NOT NULL,
unit_mis smallint,
CONSTRAINT assorb_pk PRIMARY KEY (oid),
CONSTRAINT assorb_fk FOREIGN KEY (key)
REFERENCES pozzi (key) MATCH SIMPLE
ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
CONSTRAINT unit_m_fk FOREIGN KEY (unit_mis)
REFERENCES info_cod.unita (unita) MATCH
SIMPLE
ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);

the csv file is like the following (it is only a
part):

key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis
1001334;19.1;21;A;6;;;11
1001334;93.5;94;A;30;;;11
1001334;94;115;A;20;;;11
1001334;154.5;255;A;644;;;11
1001334;273;282;A;4;;;11
1001334;298;309;A;7;;;11
1001334;432;1224;P;1850;;;11
4277001;121;901;A;397;ALLARGAMENTO FORO;;11
4277001;121;901;A;96;PERFORAZIONE;;11

The filed order it is the same and also the
decimal separator is set as dot. I set also the
delimiter for fields.
I don't understand what was the problem.

Can somebody help me?

Eugenio
