Hi All,

I am trying to use COPY to import postgresql logs into a postgresql
database for further review and sorting.

Are you using the CSV format to log to the Postgres log?:

Thanks Adrian - I wasn't using the CSV format - I am now! It solves the blank line problem I was encountering.

The problem I'm encountering happens when COPY hits a blank row:

development=# COPY log
development-# FROM
'D:/PostgreSQL/9.1/pg_log/postgresql-2012-03-15_093730.log'
development-# WITH DELIMITER '^' NULL AS '';

ERROR: missing data for column "ip_address"
CONTEXT: COPY log, line 2: " "

Line 2 is a blank line.

Is there any way to use COPY with blank lines or do the blank lines have
to removed before using COPY?

AFAIK, you have to remove blank lines.


Thanks,
George
