I would like to use copy to populate a single row in table with data
from a tsv file for further transformations.
I seem not find a way to stop copy from seeing that the tsv file does
indeed contain fields.
This my current query

		COPY raw_data
		(
		raw_record
		)
		FROM
		'/tmp/some.tsv'
		;

You can specify the character which COPY sees as the field delimiter to be something other than a tab - maybe a comma, if there are no commas in your input:

  copy raw_data(raw_record)
  from '/tmp/some.tsv'
  with delimiter ',';

Would that do the job?
