I am new to databases and am trying to find out if it is possible to upload
a file of records that are deliminated by a character such as | to
Postgresql.
I have a file that has about 400,000 records in it and I would really like
to not have to enter all these in individually.

Thank you

Hi Liam,
Have a look at the COPY command, it should do what you want.
Do you know about the online book devoted to postgresql? It's a great
supplement to the manual, it can be found at:
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/aw_pgsql_book/node3.html

all the best,
adam
