Hello,
My supervisor has requested that I copy a small database to Excel for
her to look at. The first time I did it, I used the copy command and
the data was so dirty that it didn't come in very well. Someone
suggested that I use a pipe to delimit the data so that the Excel can
ignore the commas that are imbedded in the data. I tried to do that and
I'm having trouble with the syntax.
Is there another list where I should bring this kind of query question?
I have already searched for an answer on the postgres.org site, but
didn't turn up anything useful for this.
I would use Access, but if you have to use Excel, make sure you do it
via ODBC so you don't have to clean up the data.

Thanks,
Carol
