    <p><a href="http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/sql-copy.html" rel="nofollow">Per documentation</a> on the <code>COPY</code> statement, it should be <code>WITH DELIMITER</code> and not <em>DELIMITERS</em>.</p> <p>Also, <code>COPY</code> syntax had changed and you're encouraged to use the following:</p> <pre><code>COPY location FROM 'file.csv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER '\t', NULL 'NULL'); </code></pre> <hr> <p><strong>EDIT:</strong></p> <p>I've used the supplied information to test how <code>COPY</code> will work on the presented data: </p> <pre><code>CREATE TABLE atest ( countrycode text CHECK (length(countrycode) &lt;= 2), postalcode text CHECK (length(postalcode) &lt;=20), place text CHECK (length(place) &lt;= 100), state text CHECK (length(state) &lt;= 20), country text CHECK (length(country) &lt;= 100), country2 text CHECK (length(country2) &lt;= 20), community text CHECK (length(community) &lt;= 100), community2 text CHECK (length(community2) &lt;= 20), latitude double precision, longitude double precision, accuracy integer); </code></pre> <p>I've used the above mentioned command (adopted a bit):</p> <pre><code>COPY atest FROM '/Users/viy/atest2.csv' WITH (FORMAT csv, DELIMITER E'\t', NULL '\n'); </code></pre> <p>And got the same error as described above. This is expected, 'cos there're too many empty fields. Let's look at the <code>CSV</code> data and how it matches table definition (all <code>\t</code> replaced with new lines):</p> <pre><code>AD countrycode AD100 postalcode Canillo place \n state \n country \n country2 \n community \n community2 \n latitude 42.5833 longitude 1.6667 accuracy 6 &lt;-- this one gives the error! </code></pre> <p>So, in order to get data loaded you have to review your source data and remove an extra empty field in the middle. Another way is to adjust table's definition to match you source data.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
