Hello folks,

I have the following problem:

I have a bunch of text files, I want to load them into a table where each
file will be stored in one row.

Question 1: Is there any way how to do this in psql?

AFAIK the \copy command interprets \n as a new line and so I can't get it
done what I want. So I wrote a C program that parses my text files and
anywhere it sees a \n it puts \\n and then concatenates the files, etc. -
quite complicated.

Question 2: Is there a simpler way of doing this?

Thanks in advance

Zoltan
