Hi all,

I am well versed with the COPY command for copying the contents of a csv
file into a table. I am used to the below mentioned command:

* COPY postgres_log1 FROM '/tmp/abc/xyz/postgresql-2018-08-14_000000.csv'
WITH csv;*

But in the location "/tmp/abc/xyz/" daily a file(with header
postgresql-2018-08-14_000000.csv) will be generated.

So how can I automate this task instead of manually specifying the file
name, it has to look for the filename with current_date at the time of
copying into table. How can I achieve this?

Any suggestions or modifications are most welcome.

Regards,
Pavan
