Hi,
This command, which generates a JSON object as output, has some escaped
data with backslashes: (see line 91 here: https://pastebin.com/D4it8ybS)
C:\\Portable\\curl\\curl.exe -k
"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?etcVariablesDeleted";'
I use the COPY command to pull it into a temp table like so:
COPY temp_maps_api from program 'C:\\Portable\\curl\\curl.exe -k
"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?etcVariablesDeleted";';
So temp_maps_api has a single JSON field?
However copy eats those backslashes. I need to use quote_literal() but
that's a syntax error. For some reason the COPY command doesn't allow
for ESCAPE to work with programs, only CSV.
I tried using WITH BINARY but I get the error message: "COPY file
signature not recognized"
Does anyone know how to make COPY FROM PROGRAM take the output literally?
Thanks,
Mark
