I'm trying to import csv file's table into pgAdmin using COPY command and getting the error:
ERROR: could not open file "R:\myfile.csv" for reading: No such file or directory
HINT: COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server process to read a file. You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy.
The statement is:
copy tst_copy from 'R:\myfile.csv'

I am trying to import data from a csv file into a table in my DB, but keep getting an error.
SQL QUERY
BEGIN;
Copy csv_geometry_tamplate(facility_gis_number,facility_geometry)
from '/home/developer/tmp/facility_Polygon_testing.csv'
DELIMITER ','
CSV HEADER;
COMMIT;
{code}
ERROR: could not open file "/home/developer/tmp/facility_Polygon_testing.csv" for reading: Permission denied
HINT: COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server process to read a file. You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy.
It seems that the user access DB for location /home/developer/tmp/ did not have access permission.
I moved the file to /tmp/facility_Polygon_testing.csv, then changed permissions with chmod 777. This seem to have solved the issue.
I am having multiple of csv.gz files in local computer which I want to upload into postgres table without unzipping the file. I had refer to this questions (Loading zipped CSV(filename.csv.gz) file into PostgreSQL table) and used this query
\COPY TABLE FROM PROGRAM 'gzip -dc my_file.csv.gz' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER NULL;
when I run it on sql shell it shown this notification "gzip is not recognized as an internal or external command". Could anyone suggest me how to do it correctly
I am trying to import data from a CSV file into PostgreSQL using pgAdmin. However, I am getting an error message when attempting to perform a COPY command.
ERROR: could not open file "/Users/brandoncruz/Desktop/Test File.csv" for reading: Permission denied
HINT: COPY FROM instructs the PostgreSQL server process to read a file. You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy.
SQL state: 42501
Below is the code I have attempted to use for the import.
CREATE TABLE roles(
role_id serial PRIMARY KEY,
role_name VARCHAR (255)
);
COPY roles FROM '/Users/brandoncruz/Desktop/Test File.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;
It looks about your permissions. You can change permissions of 'Test File.csv'. I mean Postgres user cannot read your file. After change permissions it must be copied successfully.
You might need to check following path if you are using pgAdmin:
pgAdmin > File > Preferences
Paths > Binary Paths
For postgreSQL binary path, you should find the location of PostgreSQL from your mac and save that:
i.e. C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin (Windows)
For mac, check under Applications, Program Files, that depends and changes from Mac to Mac.
I am trying to import a CSV file into postgresSQL, however, I keep getting the error that no such file exists or directory.
this is the line of code I execute copy mu_data from
copy mu_data from 'users/mysurname/Desktop/FILE.CSV' DELIMITER ',' CSV
HEADER;
Can anyone suggest how to fix this?
copy is a command run on the server side. So unless your Postgres server happens to be on your localhost, the file very likely doesn't exist from the view of the server.
So one solution is you to transfer the file to the servers filesystem somehow. Or, if you're using the psql command line tool (or at least can use it for this task), you can use the \copy command there.
I tried to import csv file data into postgres table. Running the following line as pgscript in pgAdmin
\copy users_page_rank FROM E'C:\\Users\\GamulinN\\Desktop\\users page rank.csv' DELIMITER ';' CSV
it returned an error:
[ERROR ] 1.0: syntax error, unexpected character
Does anyone know what could be wrong here? I checked this post but couldn't figure out what's the problem.
To import file into postgres with COPY you need one of the following:
1) Connect with psql to the DB and run your comand:
\copy users_page_rank FROM E'C:\\Users\\GamulinN\\Desktop\\users page rank.csv' DELIMITER ';' CSV
It will copy the file from current computer to the table. Details here.
2) Connect with any tool to the DB and run this SQL script:
COPY users_page_rank FROM E'C:\\Users\\GamulinN\\Desktop\\users page rank.csv' DELIMITER ';' CSV
It will copy the file from the server with postgres to the table. Details here. (With this command you can only COPY from files in postgresql data directory. So you will need to transfer files there first.)
