Hi:
Thanks for your answer. My question is the following:
I have a large plain text external file with registers separated by commas like
this:
253,0,2000-02-24,053638447fffffffffffffff,.......................
I need to parse this and put in postgres. What is the best form of parsing and
how can I do for put this information in database.
Thanks again for your help.
Jlopez.
