Looks like you have additional columns,
Take the file header and created temp table and load to temp to temp table first.
Create temp table test(< allcolumns list > <text data type >)

2. If you are using pg-admin-III right-click on the PSQL consloe option or Linux server use a copy command \COPY tmp_test FROM 'test.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER ;

Hi Kargen,
The password is the one which was set for the respective user (here: postgres) in the database backend.
A fresh installation typically has only one user role named postgres. The password is asked for during the installation (in case of Windows). On Linux servers the role has no password, but is authenticated by peer, which means that you connect from a session on the database server locally to the database.
After installing the EDB Postgres database on Windows, you have to start the client programs with their complete path or add the directory where they reside (typically C:\Program Files\Postgresql\versionNumber\bin) to the environment variable %PATH%. Please check with your system administrators on how to do this.
OK. Now I found my password from my notebook.
Using Windows 10 command prompt, the error said it can't find that file but the fileName everything was correct.
Is there anything wrong with that query?
I also read this thread but I can't find any file open to get pgAdmin4 to open my file.
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/287946147.391841.1515085145687%40mail.yahoo.com
Please advise.
Regards,
Holger

Hi Hoger,
I tried as you said. I downloaded this psql - postgres frontend for windows and then tried pg_dump as well as psql command prompt.
But, they asked me for password.
May I know what kind of password it is referring to ?
When I downloaded POSTGRESQL, it is saved in the program files in windows 10 but there isn't any command line tool available.
I tried using windows 10 command prompt but it is not accepting any command like I what type :
psql -U postgres -d mydb -a -f "Filelocation\name"
Please help.
Thanks.

The easiest way would be using psql on the command line.
Dump a little database using pg_dump with the option --data-only to see what the format digestible by psql looks like.
Basically, it's a COPY command followed by the data in tab-separated format finished by a line consisting of a backslash and a period. \.
