Hi, I have a problem with psql and CSV.

C:\Users\an\bin>C:\Tmp\psql -h 10.211.43.22 -p 5432 -U postgres -d aatest -w -c "\copy public.""Bayern"" FROM 'C:\Users\an\test\Bayern.csv' WITH DELIMITER ';' CSV"
Error: extra data after expected last column
CONTEXT: COPY Bayern, row 1: "48.455555555555556;11.800833333333333;Anglberg/Amper;Industrial plant;722;220;220;2133;0;0;Undefined..."

I have a table (Bayern) with all columns in the right format. There is a column-value which has a '/' in the string (Anglberg/Amper). I think that '/' is taken for a delimeter, since when I replace / with 'white space' it works.
I use ';' as delimeter. I have UTF-8 encoding in the db. Is there a way around this or do I have to go through all csv files and change '/' to white space?

Kind regards,
Paul
