I noticed that some tables are not populated with any rows (I mean 0 rows), yet, if I manually insert a row (actually just copy an INSERT statement from that input file) in the interactive terminal, that row was added with no problem. So my question "does psql -f quits inserting rows for a table when it detects there is an error in a statement?". The impression that I got is that even though other rows might not have any errors, but psql -f seems just quits after it detects an error in a row.

See the psql man page, and search for "ON_ERROR_STOP". This controls
this behavior.
