Subject: Additional options for COPY from
Date: Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:49:59 -0400
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the best list to ask this (and I am very new to 
PostgreSQL) but I think more options are needed in the COPY from 
command, in order to better deal with exceptions. By exceptions I mean 
data not consistent with the format, empty rows, extra delimiters at the 
end of rows, etc.

Is there someone or a party that deals with the details of the COPY 
command that I could discuss this with?

Just for context, I am dealing with delimited data of millions of rows 
and perhaps 60 columns or so that I wish to read into tables in a 
Postgres 17 database under Windows 11, with everything on local drives.
