Greg,

Excel file imported into LibreOffice and converted to .ods. Columns marked
and saved as .csv. Emacs does not display the 'DOS' indicator of CR/LF
instead of the UNIX \n because all work was done with linux applications.

Using the psql '-f' option worked ... up to a point when psql pointed out
to me that I had neglected to put a terminating semicolon on the end of each
line. Mea culpa!

Now I get an error on a boolean column. See my response to Chris with
details.

Thanks,

Rich
