Dear Group,
I have a large file of 71 columns and 10K rows.
I had to pass this whole document into a table and
using a python script I created insert statements :


INSERT INTO cdna_exp
(cdna_SPOT,cdna_NAME,cdna_Clone_ID,cdna_Gene_Symbo l,cdna_Gene_Name,cdna_Cluster_ID,cdna_Accession,cd na_Preferred_name,cdna_SUID,cdna_CH1I_MEAN,cdna_CH 1D_MEDIAN,cdna_CH1I_MEDIAN,cdna_CH1_PER_SAT,cdna_C H1I_SD,cdna_CH1B_MEAN,cdna_CH1B_MEDIAN,cdna_CH1B_S D,cdna_CH1D_MEAN,cdna_CH2I_MEAN,cdna_CH2D_MEAN,cdn a_CH2D_MEDIAN,cdna_CH2I_MEDIAN,cdna_CH2_PER_SAT,cd na_CH2I_SD,cdna_CH2B_MEAN,cdna_CH2B_MEDIAN,cdna_CH 2B_SD,cdna_CH2BN_MEDIAN,cdna_CH2DN_MEAN,cdna_CH2IN _MEAN,cdna_CH2DN_MEDIAN,cdna_CH2IN_MEDIAN,cdna_COR R,cdna_DIAMETER,cdna_FLAG,cdna_LOG_RAT2N_MEAN,cdna _LOG_RAT2N_MEDIAN,cdna_PIX_RAT2_MEAN,cdna_PIX_RAT2 _MEDIAN,cdna_PERGTBCH1I_1SD,cdna_PERGTBCH1I_2SD,cd na_PERGTBCH2I_1SD,cdna_PERGTBCH2I_2SD,cdna_RAT1_ME AN,cdna_RAT1N_MEAN,cdna_RAT2_MEAN,cdna_RAT2_MEDIAN ,cdna_RAT2_SD,cdna_RAT2N_MEAN,cdna_RAT2N_MEDIAN,cd na_REGR,cdna_SUM_MEAN,cdna_SUM_MEDIAN,cdna_TOT_BPI X,cdna_TOT_SPIX,cdna_X_COORD,cdna_Y_COORD,cdna_TOP ,cdna_BOT,cdna_LEFT,cdna_RIGHT,cdna_SECTOR,cdna_SE CTORROW,cdna_SECTORCOL,cdna_SOURCE,cdna_
PLATE,cd
na_PROW,cdna_PCOL,cdna_FAILED,cdna_IS_VERIFIED,cdn a_IS_CONTAMINATED,cdna_LUID)

I kept all these files into a chip.sql file.

I initialized this file from psql prompt.

Myarray=> \i ../../../chip.sql

I get the following ERROR:
psql:/../../../../../sqls/2151.sql:9216: ERROR:
syntax error at or near "Hs" at character 1182

IS it a proble if I have a value : "Hs.269034" in this
form. I declared this as varchar(100).

Also I have 9216 INSERT statements in this file.

I am unable to sniff where the problem is. Can any one
suggest some solution.

Thank you in advance.

Kumar.
