I'm having some problems using \copy
I have a directory full of test data that I want to be installed automatically
when "make database" is issued. While the Makefile rules would seem simple, I'm
having some trouble.
I want to do this
\copy table_name from 'table_name.cdf' delimiters ',';
But I get:
\copy: parse error at "delimiters"
A similar command:
copy table_name from '/path/to/file/table_name.cdf' delimiters ',';
works fine, but this makes things complicated, as I don't know the path to the
files until it happens (who knows where the tarball will be unpacked, I want to
give a relative path, not an absolute).
The documentation I've found on \copy says to see the docs on copy ;)
Does the \copy command not support "delimiters"? This is 7.4 on FreeBSD 5.1.
