I guess this is a feature request since I can't figure
out a way to do it directly in postgresql (plus
COPY/\copy isn't in SQL specs). Often when I import
data I need to assign foreign key id's, timestamps,
etc. How about a syntax something like:
\copy tablename (col1, col2, col3, fkid=8,
ts1='2004-8-8') from 'data.csv'
or maybe add a defaults clause after "with":
\copy tablename (col1, col2, col3) from 'data.csv'
with defaults (fkid=8,ts1='2004-8-8')
Or if anybody knows of a better/existing way please
feel free. :)
