Hi everyone,

I'm struggling with something which I'm sure should be REALLY easy. But I
can't quite get it to work. I've got a CSV file with two columns which
looks like the below:

2012-07-15 10:00:00, 1
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 2
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 3
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 4
2012-07-15 10:00:00, 5

I want to copy the data into this table:

CREATE TABLE master_table_interpolated(
date_time TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
person_id INTEGER,
person_location GEOMETRY);

So the data from the CSV file should go into the first two columns of my
table, and leave the final one blank. I use this query to pull the CSV file
in, however I can't figure out how to map the data to the correct columns
in my table.

COPY master_table_interpolated from 'C:/Program
Files/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/basetime.csv' DELIMITERS ',' CSV;

Ideas please?

Thanks

James
