Hello, (I already fear the answer to my question is "no..") :) I am using the 'COPY FROM' SQL command (not psql \copy) to move data into a table from a CSV file. The source data are suitable for import EXCEPT there are extraneous columns of data in the source file. In essence, my table schema is: id, col1, col2, col4 My source file schema is: col1,col2,col3,col4 I'm curious if there is any way to tell "COPY" to ignore the third column of data? Basically I'd like to write something along the lines of: copy import (col1,col2,\n,col4) from 'c:/dev/import/source/test.csv' with CSV HEADER Note "\n" would indicate there there is a column in the source that should simply be ignored during the import. Of course, I tried this syntax and it didn't work. Perhaps there is another way of indicating that there is a "null column" in the source file that should be skipped during import? Any assistance in solving this problem (without having to change the source file) would be greatly appreciated. If I have to change the source file, I will, but it would greatly simplify things if I didn't have to.. Best regards and thanks for any ideas, Steve
