for column when using \copy in psql up vote 4 down vote favorite 1 I'm trying to import a .txt file into PostgreSQL. The txt file has 6 columns: Laboratory_Name Laboratory_ID Facility ZIP_Code City State And 213 rows. I'm trying to use \copy to put the contents of this file into a table called doe2 in PostgreSQL using this command: \copy DOE2 FROM '/users/nathangroom/desktop/DOE_inventory5.txt' (DELIMITER(' postgresql copy command ')) It gives me this error: missing data for column "facility" I've looked all around for what to do when encountering this error and nothing has helped. Has anyone else encountered this? postgresql psql sql-copy share|improve this question edited Nov 5 '14 at 1:36 Erwin Brandstetter 220k29358468 asked Nov 5 '14 at 0:33 nathanmgroom 2713 1 What does the data look like in the file? (A few rows worth of sample.) –khampson Nov 5 '14 at 0:54 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 3 down vote Three possible causes: One or more lines of your file has only 4 or fewer space characters (your delimiter). One or more space characters have been escaped (inadvertently). Maybe with a backslash at the end of an unquoted value. For the (default) text format you are using, the manual explains: Backslash characters (\) can be used in the COPY data to quote data characters that might otherwise be taken as row or column delimiters. Output from COPY TO or pg_dump would not exhibit any of these faults when reading from a table with matching layout. But maybe your file has b
4.3 turn error logging on (default logs in error_logging_table) 4.4 Redirect to another table with a specific label 4.5 Limit to 2 bad rows: History Error logging in COPY was a proposed feature developed by Aster Data against the PostgreSQL 9.0 code base. It was submitted and reviewed (1) but not accepted into the core product for that or any other version so far. Overview The purpose of error logging in COPY is to prevent the backend from erroring out if a malformed tuple is encountered during a COPY http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26747748/error-missing-data-for-column-when-using-copy-in-psql operation. Bad tuples can either be skipped or logged into an error logging table. The format of the error logging table is as follows: CREATE TABLE error_logging_table( tupletimestamp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, targettable VARCHAR, dmltype CHAR(1), errmessage VARCHAR, sqlerrcode CHAR(5), label VARCHAR, KEY BIGINT, rawdata BYTEA ); The COPY command returns the number of successfully copied tuples only. COPY options Error logging is set by https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Error_logging_in_COPY adding options to the COPY command. Here is the list of the available options: Variable name Description Default value ERROR_LOGGING Enables error handling for COPY commands (when set to true). true ERROR_LOGGING_SKIP_BAD_ROWS Enables the ability to skip malformed tuples that are encountered in COPY commands (when set to true). true ERROR_LOGGING_MAX_ERRORS Maximum number of bad rows to log before stopping the COPY operation (0 means unlimited). 0 ERROR_LOGGING_SCHEMA_NAME Schema name of the table where malformed tuples are inserted by the error logging module 'public' ERROR_LOGGING_TABLE_NAME Relation name where malformed tuples are inserted by the error logging module. The table is automatically created if it does not exist. 'error_table' ERROR_LOGGING_LABEL Optional label that is used to identify malformed tuples COPY command text ERROR_LOGGING_KEY Optional key to identify malformed tuples Index of the tuple in the COPY stream Bad tuples can be rejected for a number of reasons (extra or missing column, constraint violation, ...). The error table tries to capture as much context as possible about the error. If the table does not exist it is created automatically. The format of the error logging table is as follows: CREATE TABLE error_logging_table( tupletimestamp TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE,
