I'm afraid cannot easily use awk, perl, nor rexx (simply beyond my
comprehension). So I want to return to the database way as the nearest
to a spreadsheet.

I tried im****ting my csv file using the copy command but nothing
happens. I created a blank database and then issued the command:

COPY databasename FROM '/filename.csv' | STDIN WITH DELIMITER ',' NULL
'0.0E0' CSV

Then I issue the command:

\dl

and there is nothing in the database just two empty columns appear,
ID|Description.

How to resolve please.
