The We have unexpected data file, crsp-oct10.txt, has a header types in the first linefew columns. I couldn't find an argument for copy from function to account for this. So, IWe'll just delete the first line from the file and try again to copy the start by copying data into the crsp table. tail -n +2 CRSP-oct10.txt > CRSP-oct10NH.stdout I renamed the output to CRSP-NH, NH for no header. Let's take a look if the header is actually removed. head -2 CRSP-NH.txt output: 10000 1986/01/06 7952 68391610 -0.000138 0.001926 10000 1986/01/07 3 3990 68391610 OMFGA OPTIMUM MANUFACTURING INC Q 7952 68391610 -2.56250 1000 C 3680 0.013809 0.011061 Now, let's copy the data from CRSP-NH.txt into the CRSP table. \COPY crsp FROM '/bulk/WinnersCurse/CRSP-NH.txt'; --ERROR: invalid input syntax named CRSPtmp with varchar type for integer: "" --CONTEXT: COPY crsp, line 1, column excode: "" To avoid problems such most of the one above, I'll just copy all the variables as varcharfields.
