Copy Table from Text File; Start at Line Number X Rather than at Beginning of File

Hi,

I have a text file I need to import into Postgres, v. 7.2. The file
has a header row.

I want to begin the import at the line below the header row. Is this
possible, or will I have to strip the header row from the file prior
to the import? If it is possible, what flag do I use in the COPY
command?

Thanks.

Hi, I am trying to import data using COPY, from a file containing thirty or so COPY commands each with 0 or more rows of data. Reason, I have a small data set I want to include into a database with an identical schema, with existing data. I figured a good way to do this would be to use pg_dump on the small dataset, trim out the table definitions and constraints, and run the resulting file. (I also reordered the COPY statements to...

I recently ran into an "issue" related to text files and ftell/fseek, and I'd like to know if it's a bug, or simply an annoying, but still conforming, implementation. The platform is Windows, where text files use CF+LF (0x0d, 0x0a) to mark end-of-line. The file in question, however, was in Unix format, with only LF (0x0a) at the end of each line. First, does the above situation already invoke "implementation defined" or "undefined"...

My first iteration below works perfectly fine- as long as the log file itself (logfile.log) keeps getting written...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
