Using PostgreSQL 9.3 on Linux

I'm trying to extract data into a comma delimited format and not having
much success...seems to act totally different from Oracle.  Does anyone
have any suggestions?

Just in case it helps you, I wrote a pair of very simple scripts, but they have eased my life a lot:

* sql2csv:
https://github.com/pierrechtux/geolllibre/blob/master/sql2csv

sql2csv takes an SQL query as an argument, and spits out the result in CSV. Just redirecting its output (>) makes a .csv file.
It is extremely trivial: just this is relevant:
echo "COPY ($1) TO stdout WITH CSV HEADER FORCE QUOTE *" | psql -X -h $GLL_BD_HOST $GLL_BD_NAME



* csv2sql:
https://github.com/pierrechtux/geolllibre/blob/master/csv2sql

csv2sql works the other way: you give him a .csv file, and it dumps it into your database, in a 'tmp_imports' schema (makes it easy for cleaning...).



These utility scripts are very rough: all fields are considered as strings (varchar), to be as generic as possible.

I use these 2 utilities in production daily, for a number of purposes, including heavy diff'ing. So far, no worries, they proved to be very reliable,

There are a couple of environment variables that should be just adapted for a generic use: $GLL_BD_HOST and $GLL_BD_NAME.

My little 0.02€...
