Hi list, I am trying to transfer the following from MySQL to PostgreSQL: load data local infile 'D:/tmp/InterAcces- MySQL/03102005/bedrijven.txt' into table bedrijven fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '^' lines terminated by ';\r\n'; Is there a way to do this without changing the file (this file is delivered by a 3rd party)? Btw, I am on the win32 platform. Here is an example from the file: 6603,^J.J. De Graaf^,^Achthovenerweg^,^1A^,^2351 AX^,^Leiderdorp^,^Revisievergunning (art. 8.4 Wm) (nieuw, de gehele inrichting omvattend)^,^2^,^50^,^1993-12-14^,^60^,^De Heer J.J.
