Yes, I discovered that \COPY worked. Ah, so the COPY starts consuming
its own script -- on the line after the COPY command? Maybe that is
why an error is given about the second column, then: the first column
consumes emptiness from the following blank line, leaving no data
source for the remaining columns of the first row?
