Importing and exporting CSV files with PostgreSQL

Let’s see how to use PostgreSQL to import and export CSV files painlessly with the COPY command.

Import CSV into table t_words:

COPY t_words FROM '/path/to/file.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV;

You can tell quote char with QUOTE and change delimiter with DELIMITER.
