Re: csv import error

[Eugenio Trumpy <frippe12573@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I adjusted the csv, changing the semi-column with column and inserting the quote for character.
Now it seems to be better but I got another error. This last is due to the fact that oid column in my
postgresql table is a serial and I did not filled it in csv because I was thinking that would have been
filled-in automatically during the data import.

What do you suggest on this regard? How can I solve?

Hi,

 

Quotation marks should be around both the name of each and every column and their values.

 

As the columns names are all lower case. You may wish to remove all quotation marks which is much easier.

But character value needs quotation mark.

 

Also replace the semi-column as column separation character with commas for sql insert statement.

What has happened here is that the values from CSV are directly  inserted into sql. It needs a little bit of extra work.  

Hope this helps.

 

Best Regards

Hello,

I'm trying to import data using a csv file,
but I got an error:

 
ERROR:  column "key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis" of relation "assorb" does not exist

LINE 1: INSERT INTO "info_pozzi_hydrocarbon"."assorb" ("key;daprof;a...

                                                       ^

In statement:

INSERT INTO "info_pozzi_hydrocarbon"."assorb" ("key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis") VALUES ('1001334;19.1;21;A;6;;;11')

My sql statement for the table that I would like to populate is:

-- Table: info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb

-- DROP TABLE info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb;

CREATE TABLE info_pozzi_hydrocarbon.assorb
(
  key integer,
  daprof double precision,
  aprof double precision,
  tipo character(1),
  valore double precision,
  note character(254),
  oid serial NOT NULL,
  unit_mis smallint,
  CONSTRAINT assorb_pk PRIMARY KEY (oid),
  CONSTRAINT assorb_fk FOREIGN KEY (key)
      REFERENCES pozzi (key) MATCH SIMPLE
      ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE CASCADE,
  CONSTRAINT unit_m_fk FOREIGN KEY (unit_mis)
      REFERENCES info_cod.unita (unita) MATCH SIMPLE
      ON UPDATE NO ACTION ON DELETE NO ACTION
)
WITH (
  OIDS=FALSE
);

the csv file is like the following (it is only a part):

key;daprof;aprof;tipo;valore;note;oid;unit_mis

1001334;19.1;21;A;6;;;11

1001334;93.5;94;A;30;;;11

1001334;94;115;A;20;;;11

1001334;154.5;255;A;644;;;11

1001334;273;282;A;4;;;11

1001334;298;309;A;7;;;11

1001334;432;1224;P;1850;;;11

4277001;121;901;A;397;ALLARGAMENTO FORO;;11

4277001;121;901;A;96;PERFORAZIONE;;11


The filed order it is the same and also the decimal separator is set as dot. I set also the delimiter for fields.
I don't understand what was the problem. 

Can somebody help me?
