Your syntax is wrong. Take out the INTO and it should work fine.

Subject: Postgres "copy" problem...


The following functions failed the regression tests:
float 8
geometry
abstime
select_implicit
select_having
select_views
rules

This is right out of the tutorial:
COPY INTO weather FROM '/home/user/weather.txt'
    USING DELIMITERS '|';

I build a table (simulation_stock_tb) which uses float8's and execute
the following:
pma=> copy INTO simulation_stock_tb from '/prgs/db/cps/load_ready3'
USING DELIMITERS ' ';

Using the SAME syntax as the "weather" example I get this error msg.
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "into"
pma=>

What is the connection (if any) between the float8 in the regression
test and the "parse" error above?

THANKS for your help!
