Hi,

I want to import excel file to postgresql 9.5 but when run the query , got
error :extra data after last expected column

Mac OS
1) downloaded excel file , open with LibreOffice, saved as CSV, UTF-8
(attachment).
2) renamed and moved the file under /Users/<mylogin>/Library/Application
Support/Postgres/var-9.5
3) created an empty table called mytable
4) ran the following command:

query ran under PSequel:

COPY mytable

FROM 'test.csv'

Do I have to create columns inside mytable ? I also tried "Freeze header
and footer" before converting to CSV , same error.

What am I missing here?
