Hello Fellow Postgres Users!
I am converting a large document database to postgresql. I have modified
a table to convert a pair of integer fields in the old database
(notebook_number, copy_number) into a 2 dimensional array which pairs
one field with the other. After dumping all the data into a flat "|"
delimited ascii file, I want to bulk load it into my new table.
psql complains that I need to specify array indicies when I try to do a
copy using the ascii file as input.
What is the proper syntax for storing array points from an ascii file?
TIA for your help!
