Chris,

Here's the full statement for the last row:

psql:chem_too.sql:5517: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type boolean: ""
LINE 1: ...NS','1996-11-21','Potassium','0.949999988','mg/L','','','','...
^
The column is NULLable and if there's no value a NULL should be entered.

Er, thanks for the pointer. I didn't read the psql man page first. Now I'm
using 'psql -f <filename> <database_name>' and getting the above error.

Thanks,

Rich
