I would like to create a table from a CSV file (the first line is headers which I want to use as column names) saved from Excel. I have a new database which I have been able to create tables from a tutorial. But I haven?t been able to produce this new table. The following are my attempts:
As mentioned, write the table structure to a file using the postgres DDL. That is, 'CREATE TABLE <name> ( column1... );' Then using psql you can '\copy to <tablename> from <filename> with delimiter as ',' null as '' CSV' (without the quotes and with appropriate delimiter and null values. The backslash is needed to make it work.
