You can work around this by piping the file through a program. For example I just used this to copy from a 24GB file on Windows 10 and PostgreSQL 11.
copy t(c,d) from program 'cmd /c "type x:\path\to\file.txt"' with (format text);
This copies the text file file.txt
into the table t
, columns c
and d
.
The trick here is to run cmd
in a single command mode, with /c
and telling it to type
out the file in question.
