Hi all, when untaring a pg_dumped tar file the data gets populated like this: ----------------- COPY mytable (id, attr1, attr2) FROM stdin; \. copy mytable (id, attr1, attr2) from '$$PATH$$/2387.dat' ; ----------------- where $$PATH$$ gets replaced by the current path. Anyone knows whats the aim of this ? The ".\" throws an error within the pgadmin sql query window: ERROR: syntax error at or near "\" at character Isn't it correct just to call: # copy mytable (id, attr1, attr2) from '$$PATH$$/2387.dat' ; ? Its kind of unrelaxed to untar a restored db (which i need to untar from time to time because of changing libraries) and always need to change the above lines of code. Thanks for any info about this, Chris
