And, if you're stuck with an older version of PostgreSQL that can't do cvs, you should look up this command: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.fgetcsv.php tres cool if you've got a csv file to import, you just read in each line with that, and it gives you a numerically indexed array of each field, ready to go. Quite useful, even for other stuff. And yes, it does understand things like commas in the middle of the field and all that.
