Export it into CSV or TSV format and then use \copy in psql to load it.

Hello: Thanks for your quick response. I'm trying to import a new Excel file into an A2K table and it's truncating the data. One of the Excel columns is a text field that can be up to 2000 characters. When I import it into A2K, that field is truncated. If I try to inport the file into an EXISTING table that I define myself where that field is a MEMO field, the import crashes.

I've been trying to use the Access Import Wizard to expedite importing data into my mdb. The nice thing about the wizard is that I can import from different file formats - txt, xls, even Outlook - and dump everything into a table. The problem is once I have the data imported into a new table, I can't do much with it. If I try to run an Append query and insert data from the new table into an existing table, the query fails - "Error...

I have a CSV file with 400,000 lines of email mailing list information that I need to migrate to a new PostgreSQL database. Each line has all the info I need except a PK (I usually use an int4 column for a PK). If the file were smaller I would probably just use Excel to pop in a PK and then just load into the table... Since Excel chokes on files greater than 65k lines, this won't work.

I'm hoping the answer to this is that I'm just doing something silly, but I'm really scratching my head over this one. I'm importing data from multiple workbooks, each workbook has a sheet called SubSAT and I need to get specific data from that into the database. I'm finding that if I have the workbook open on my desktop then the SubSAT % complete and the High level plan % come in fine, but as soon as the workbook is closed they come...
