I am a novice user of PostgresQL. I found out in Internet interesting DB, which consists of 3 tables. Every of this table is in CSV format. However I could smoothly copy the first one to my sql database. Right now I have the following problem:
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type integer: "43950100,43950010,TUR,GUNES Senol (TUR),S,1,"RUSTU ",GK,"
CONTEXT: COPY worldcupsplayers, line 25645, column roundid: "43950100,43950010,TUR,GUNES Senol (TUR),S,1,"RUSTU ",GK,"
Every row in a table has the same structure, as follows:
43950100,43950010,TUR,GUNES Senol (TUR),S,1,"RUSTU ",GK,
I am wondering why in such row I have a problem (line 25645), while it looks as other ones.
I am trying to copy it with this command:
COPY worldcupsplayers(RoundID, MatchID, team_initials, coach_name, line_up, shirt_number, player_name, position, event)
FROM 'C:\Users\Public\worldcup\worldcupplayers.csv'
DELIMITER ','
CSV HEADER;
[table structure]
UPDATE: rows above and below
25643 - 43950100,43950008,SVN,KATANEC Srecko (SVN),N,23,BULAJIC,,
25644 - 43950100,43950010,BRA,SCOLARI Luiz Felipe (BRA),S,1,MARCOS,GK,
25645 - 43950100,43950010,TUR,GUNES Senol (TUR),S,1,"RUSTU ",GK,
25646 - 43950100,43950010,BRA,SCOLARI Luiz Felipe (BRA),S,2,CAFU,C,
As u may see they are all the same, with the commas every row has the same structure.
I have a table with many columns stored as text. These columns have information which i am planning to cast and copy the data into a fresh table with the same column names but with correct data types ( float8 )
I tested the SELECT with CAST operator "::" and it works fine. All the columns are being converted as you can see in the picture
However , when I uncomment the INSERT statement ( above it ) to start writing in the target table, it throws an error. The target table has identical column names and only float8 column types.
The expression from the source table is indeed of type text but i am using the cast operator so why does it not work like before when only running the SELECT statement?
My query below:

It says "column is of type double but expression is of type text" so what's really happening is that it's trying to insert one of the expressions where you cast to ::text into a column that is of type double.
If the problem was converting from text to double, you'd get a different message. Besides, the SELECT worked fine, which means it didn't encounter any text data that it couldn't convert to double.
Since you don't specify the target table columns in your INSERT, and you have so many of them, most likely you missed a column or got the order wrong.
Honestly if the table has 270 columns and they have the same name in the source and destination tables, you should really generate the query using something like python from a list of columns, that will be faster than proofreading the 270 lines...
