Hi! - Fedora Core 5, cannot copy text file into a table called datetime, yet the permissions seem OK: copy datetime from '/home/jb/Desktop/DateTimeData.txt' with csv; ERROR: could not open file "/home/jb/Desktop/DateTimeData.txt" for reading: Permission denied -rw-rw-r-- 1 jb jb 83 Aug 25 14:30 DateTimeData.txt Linux log-in is user: jb, su to root for /sbin/service postgresql start (was installed using default user: postgres and the servers still use postgres). This might be more of a linux question, but for some reason the back-end Postgresql server can't get into the needed text file -? Ideas appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
