Hi,
could anybody help me?

The backend (8.0) complains about the syntax of the following command. (This
row is from a dump created by pgadmin 1.4, using pg_dump.exe v8.0.0.5017)
The syntax error is located at the first 'DE' after the stdin;.

What's the problem?

COPY eden_countries (countrycode, countryname_hu, countryname_en,
countryname_de, telephone_prefix, lang_code, lastmod, moduserid) FROM stdin;
DE Németország Germany Deutschland +49 DE
2005-07-20 08:04:26.613 103
HU Magyarország Hungary Ungarn +36 HU 2005-07-20
08:04:26.613 103
EN Anglia England England +44 UK 2005-08-12
06:03:42.391512 107

this windows... what about the machine you are trying to load the data?

What's the problem?

what's the error it shows you?

Re: Syntax Error in COPY

But the data was dumped with a windows version pg_dump. Or do know wrong
that pgadmin3 uses a boundled version of pg_dump (installed on the client)?

BTW after running unix2dos (on cygwin) the error message is the same... :(

can you run a pg_dump (in FC4) and try with that dump? maybe it's some
kind of problem with pg_dump of pgadmin3 (i don't know, just guessing
:)...

until someone get with a better idea, it's worth to try ;)

Re: Syntax Error in COPY - worked around

Hi, it seems to be some kind of windows/pgadmin error (?), because running
the dump on the linux server it was ok.
I was able to work around the problem, but...

Thank you Jaime.
