Hi,

A bulk import (script attached) is failing.

Error message:
psql:/home/andyt/projects/django-stringer/txc/stops_inport.txt:86: ERROR:
invalid input syntax for type double precision: "stop_lat"

I think the reason may be a delimiters in strings such as "Golders Green,
Golders Green, stop GW"

490015496GW,"Golders Green, Golders Green, stop GW",,51.57207,-0.19549

What's a good way to handle this?

Thanks,

Andy
