Reading a text file into PostgreSQL

[Eyinagho Newton]

Hiya Everyone,

Can anyone explain how postgreSQL reads from a text
file into tables already created in PostgreSQL?

I am also checking the thread in the Forum just to see
if someone has written about it in the past.

Thanks.

Newton

Can anyone explain how postgreSQL reads from a text file into tables
already created in PostgreSQL?

Where did this text file come from? What format is it in?

Do you mean when you read it in using the COPY command, or something
different?
