I didn't specify any schema, so it was created in public schema.
The error message also says "public"...
//------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: column "rec_id" of relation "spec" does not exist
LINE 1: INSERT INTO "public"."spec" ("rec_id","title_c...
//------------------------------------------------------------------
Output of the \d spec:
Table "public.spec"
Column | Type | Modifiers
----------------------------+-------------------------+-----------
rec_id | character varying(32) | not null
title_category | character varying(255) |
doctype | character varying(255) |
... goes on like this for other columns.
What are you trying to see in the output of \d spec?
I don't understand what you mean by the import code is trying to insert in to wrong version of the table.
I visually checked the left side "menu like" structure of the phpPgAdmin- there is no other table of that name.
You mentioned that quoted identifiers are not the issue.
This prompted me to test the process in a table with a few columns and ascii characters.
Immediately it was clear that quoted identifiers were not to blame.
I found that I got that error when I change encoding of the tab delimited file to UTF-8.
Because my data contains non-ascii characters, if I don't use UTF-8, I get this error.
ERROR: invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0x82
... and I read somewhere that if I open the text file in notpad and save it with UTF-8 encoding, I can get rid of the error. (When inserting using pyDev (psycopg2)/Eclipse, that does get rid of the error...
That's why I changed encoding.
And now I am stuck with this error.
But at least, now I am not blaming phpPgAdmin :)
Thanks for the lead.
BTW, both server and client encoding of my pg db are UTF8.
testdb=# SHOW SERVER_ENCODING;
server_encoding
-----------------
UTF8
(1 row)
testdb=# SHOW CLIENT_ENCODING;
client_encoding
-----------------
UTF8
(1 row)
testdb=#

I don't think the quoted identifiers are the issue. I am suspecting that
the import code may be trying to INSERT into the wrong version of the
table. Some questions:
1) Which schema did you create spec in?
2) In psql what does \d spec show?
