Postgresql COPY CSV ERROR: extra data after last expected column
18,022
Works like a charm, here ...
DROP TABLE zipcodes CASCADE;
CREATE TABLE zipcodes
( id serial NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
, zzip varchar NOT NULL UNIQUE
, ztype varchar
, primary_city varchar
, acceptable_cities varchar
, unacceptable_cities varchar
, state varchar
, county varchar
, ztimezone varchar
, area_codes varchar
, latitude varchar
, longitude varchar
, world_region varchar
, country varchar
, decommissioned varchar
, estimated_population varchar
, notes varchar
);
COPY zipcodes (zzip,ztype,primary_city
, acceptable_cities,unacceptable_cities
, state,county,ztimezone,area_codes
, latitude,longitude,world_region,country
, decommissioned,estimated_population,notes )
FROM '/tmp/zip_code_database.csv'
WITH CSV HEADER delimiter ','
;
Result:
DROP TABLE
CREATE TABLE
COPY 42522
(maybe the OP has CR/CRLF problems ?)

I'm trying to import the data from http://www.unitedstateszipcodes.org/zip-code-database. A subset of the data looks like this:
"zip","type","primary_city","acceptable_cities","unacceptable_cities","state","county","timezone","area_codes","latitude","longitude","world_reg$ "00501","UNIQUE","Holtsville",,"I R S Service Center","NY","Suffolk County","America/New_York","631","40.81","-73.04","NA","US","0","384", "00544","UNIQUE","Holtsville",,"Irs Service Center","NY","Suffolk County","America/New_York","631","40.81","-73.04","NA","US","0","0"
The postgresql command I running is this:
copy development.zip_codes FROM '/tmp/zip_code_database.csv' WITH DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;
And the result is this:
ERROR: extra data after last expected column SQL state: 22P04 Context: COPY zip_codes, line 2: ""00501","UNIQUE","Holtsville",,"I R S Service Center","NY","Suffolk County","America/New_York","631"..."
What am I doing wrong with the import?
