Postgres CSV COPY from/import is not respecting CSV headers

Question

I\'m trying to import data from CSV into the table. The issue is that even with CSV HEADER, the CSV is being imported based on the column index, not on the head

Answer 1

Here's a single line example for importing users using the header row of a csv:

echo "\copy users ($(head -1 users.csv)) FROM 'users.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER" | psql

Or with gzip:

echo "\copy users ($(gzip -dc users.csv.gz | head -1)) FROM PROGRAM 'gzip -dc users.csv.gz' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER" | psql
