Postgres COPY FROM csv file- No such file or directory

Question

I\'m trying to import a (rather large) .txt file into a table geonames in PostgreSQL 9.1. I\'m in the /~ directory of my server, with a file named US.txt placed in that director

Answer 1

Maybe a bit late, but hopefully useful:

Use \copy instead
