A recent migration from Informix made me write next version of pgloader, which has several interesting features. The one of interest here is that it's able to replace input data file separator when producing COPY data sent to PostgreSQL. One ascii character rarely found into data is §, and the code may allow you to use non printable character (provided your editor allows you to type it into the configuration file). I've had some problems with my cvs pgfoundry credentials, hence the code is temporally located into pgimport module: http://cvs.pgfoundry.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/pgimport/pgimport/ I've made up a debian package, available at debian.dalibo.org repository: http://debian.dalibo.org/unstable/ http://debian.dalibo.org/unstable/pgloader_2.0.2_all.deb deb http://debian.dalibo.org/ unstable/ Hope this helps, -- Dimitri Fontaine http://www.dalibo.com/
