How to import tables with missing values?

Question

I use basketball data tables to get some understanding of Postgres 9.2 & phppgadmin. Therefore I would like to import csv tables into that database. However, I get:

Answer 1

ERROR: missing data for column "year" CONTEXT: COPY coaches, line 1: ""coachid";"year";"yr_order";"firstname";"lastname";"season_win";"season_loss";"playoff_win";"playoff..."

This type of error is also the result of a Table-mismatch. The table you are importing the text file into either has more columns or less columns than the text file has.
