Hi,<br />
<br />
I have created a copy from a CSV File into my database as as below.<br />
<br />
COPY TEST (changed, changed, remove, description)<br />
FROM '/data/Excel1.csv'<br />
DELIMITERS ',' CSV;<br />
<br />
The import is obviously failing because I have a primary key called Name which I would like to retrieve the next ID from &quot;requestnextid&quot; from the sequences.... &nbsp; I have tried adding this into the above like below but I get a syntax error.<br />
(The import does work when I hard code the ID.)<br />
<br />
COPY TEST (changed, changed,name (nextval('requestnextid'))<wbr /> ,remove, description)<br />
FROM '/data/Excel1.csv'<br />
DELIMITERS ',' CSV;<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated. &nbsp; Rich

Hi,

I have created a copy from a CSV File into my database as as below.

COPY TEST (changed, changed, remove, description)
FROM '/data/Excel1.csv'
DELIMITERS ',' CSV;

The import is obviously failing because I have a primary key called Name which I would like to retrieve the next ID from "requestnextid" from the sequences....   I have tried adding this into the above like below but I get a syntax error.
(The import does work when I hard code the ID.)

COPY TEST (changed, changed,name (nextval('requestnextid')) ,remove, description)
FROM '/data/Excel1.csv'
DELIMITERS ',' CSV;

Any help would be appreciated.   Rich

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system with an emphasis on extensibility and standards-compliance. As a database server, its primary function is to store data securely, supporting best practices, and to allow for retrieval at the request of other software applications. PostgreSQL implements the majority of the SQL2011 standard, is ACID-compliant and transactional using multiversion concurrency control (MVCC), and handles complex SQL queries using many indexing methods that are not available in other databases. It is cross-platform and runs on many operating systems including Linux, FreeBSD, OS X, Solaris, and Microsoft Windows.
