Sorry about this, writting documentation in English is not that easy when it's
not one's natural language... I'll accept any comment/patch to the
documentation, the aim of it being to ease users life, of course ;)
http://pgloader.projects.postgresql.org/

Short story: you have to make a pgloader.conf file where you explain where is
the data file and what pgloader should expect into it (csv, text, what
delimiter and quotes, etc), then run
pgloader -Tc pgloader.conf

The -T option will TRUNCATE the configured table(s) before COPYing data into
it (them).

pgloader would certainly give this, at first run... It seems to me it is worth
the effort of reading the manual...
