Thomas, would you send me a context diff (diff -c) of the change and I
will get into 7.4. Thanks.

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
dbf2pg - Insert xBase-style .dbf-files into a PostgreSQL-table
There is an option "-s oldname=newname", which changes the old field name of
the dbf-file to the newname in PostgeSQL. If the length of the new name is 0,
the field is skiped. If you want to skip the first field of the dbf-file,
you get the wildest error-messages from the backend.
dbf2pg load the dbf-file via "COPY tablename FROM STDIN". If you skip the
first field, it is an \t to much in STDIN.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dbf2pg -s first_field_name=,other_fieldname=,reserved_fieldn ame=new_fieldname
-c -d testdb -t testtable -h dbhost -U testuser -F IBM437 -T ISO-8859-1 -vv
test.dbf

If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------

440 /* build line and submit */
441 result = dbf_get_record(dbh, fields, i);
442 if (result == DBF_VALID)
443 {
444 query[0] = '\0';
445 for (h = 0; h < dbh->db_nfields; h++)
446 {
447 if (!strlen(fields[h].db_name))
448 continue;
449
450 if (h != 0) /* not for the first field! */
451 strcat(query, "\t"); /* COPY statement field
452 * separator */

A fix could be an counter j=0, which increments only, if a field is imported
(IF (strlen(fields[h].db_name)> 0) j++. And only if j > 1 (if an other field is
imported) the \t is printed.

...
int j;
...

if (result == DBF_VALID)
{
query[0] = '\0';
j = 0;
for (h = 0; h < dbh->db_nfields; h++)
{
if (!strlen(fields[h].db_name))
{
continue;
}
else
{
j++;
}

if (j > 1) /* not for the first field! */
strcat(query, "\t"); /* COPY statement field
* separator */

An other small bug in the README:
-s start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.
should be
-e start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.

I hope, it is OK.
