I'm trying to insert some data into my table using the copy command :
copy otype_cstore from '/tmp/otype_fdw.csv' delimiter ';' quote '"' csv;
And I have this answer :
ERROR: unterminated CSV quoted field
There is the line in my CSV file where I have the problem :
533696;PoG;-251658240;from id GSW C";
This is the only line a double quote and I can't remove it, so do you have some advice for me ?
Thank you in advance
Bit late to reply, but I was facing same issue and found that for double quote we need to add one more double quote to escape with along with prefix and suffix double quote to that special characater. for your case it would be
input data is : from id GSW C"
change data to : from id GSW C""""
note there are 4 consecutive double quotes. first and last double quote is prefix and postfix as per documentation. middle 2 double quotes is data with one escape double quote. Hope this helps for readers with similar issue going forward.
So for every double quote in data it needs to be escaped with one escape character (default double quote). This is as per documentation.
