Greetings -- Due to some level of ignorance at install-time, our "psql" clients on two different production computers appear to have different values for /null/: "" and "NULL" respectively. At the same time, one of these computers reports the number of rows read-in with a "\copy TABLE FROM FILE" command as "COPY 123", while the other computer does not. Is there some reference that tells specifically where the "default at login" value of /null/ is set? Is there some reference that tells what controls the "COPY 123" behavior? Are the /null/ and COPY behaviors linked? If so, how? Thank you for your consideration, John Bell ARM Archive Oak Ridge National Lab -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
