ERROR: relative path not allowed for COPY to file

[Andrew Taylor <andydtaylor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I must be being thick - can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

postgres=# COPY post_e_n

postgres-# TO 'usr/local/psql/csv/post_e_n.csv'

postgres-# WITH DELIMITER ','

postgres-# CSV HEADER;

ERROR:  relative path not allowed for COPY to file

COPY (SELECT * FROM post_e_n) gave me the same error.

I did chmod 755 -R psql to make sure the directory could be written to. Is this to do with the underscores? There is no csv file pre-existing in the directory.

Thanks,

Andy
