You appear to have two tabs after "Depth to Water", which would be one too many.
Alban, I thought that I had caught all the double tabs. Thanks for seeing this one. Now I'm back to the tabs-in-real-columns issue: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type real: " " CONTEXT: COPY chemistry, line 47364, column quant: " " and here's the referenced line: \N GW-22 2004-12-17 Calcium 9.69999981 mg/L \N \N \N \N Removing the extra tab between 'Calcium' and 9.69999981 produces: ERROR: invalid input syntax for type numeric: "N N" CONTEXT: COPY chemistry, line 47364, column northing: "N N" There must be a better way to clean this table, but I don't know what it is.
