Mike,

I suggest you use the online documentation. If you already know SQL
then just try what you know how to do and see what happens. The
developers have created a database that is hugely SQL standard. I
realize there could be some argument about that point but if you already
know compliant sql why look for issues.

Try these documentation pages.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-createtable.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-insert.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-copy.html

Kind Regards,
Keith
