Hi,
~
I created a number of csv files which I need to import into PG
tables. On the them looks like this:
~
sh-3.1# head -n 3
/media/hda3/prjx/JPack/REF/LANDMARKS/PROFILES/20080828104627_j2sdk-1_4_2_18-linux-i586.binfls.md5sum.txt
"md5sum","fl"
"d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e",".systemPrefs/.system.lock"
"d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e",".systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile"
~
and has a totalof 565 lines
~
sh-3.1# wc -l /media/hda3/prjx/JPack/REF/LANDMARKS/PROFILES/20080828104627_j2sdk-1_4_2_18-linux-i586.binfls.md5sum.txt

However, after installing pg from source (using ./configure
--without-readline --prefix=/media/hda4/pgsql/PGDBMS) and creating the
postgres user just fine (as you can see from a knoppix box):
~

This user must also own the server process.

You can change this by editing pg_hba.conf or using the -A option the
next time you run initdb.
Success. You can now start the database server using:
postgres -D /media/hda4/pgsql/DATA

pg_ctl -D /media/hda4/pgsql/DATA -l logfile start

What is going on here?
~
How can I fix that error, effectively creating and populating the
tables from csv files?

Thanks
