Can anyone see what I'm misisng? I am trying to run a psql "copy from" command through a bash script to load a buch of cdv files into the same table. I'm getting an error about the file "infile" not existing?
#!/bin/sh

do
cat infile | psql dbname -c "\copy table_name FROM stdin with delimiter as ',' NULL AS 'NA' CSV HEADER"
done
Thanks in advance

Hi Kirk,maybe try this:cat $infile |Oh my goodness! Thanks you.Once more quickie. It seems that I am going to be asked for my password every time psql loops through the copy statement.What is considered best practices to handle authentication? I am connecting locally, as myself as the user and I'm being asked for my user password. I added the -w (no-password) to the psql statement, but now assume I need to add a .pgpass file or something.Suggestions?
Add the password to ~/.pgpass http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/libpq-pgpass.html
