Importing data into pgsql
dear all,
I am new to pgsql. I have a query that, is there anyway we can import data into the PostgreSQL database from files like .txt or .xls(Ms Excel files) like we do it in MySQL. Any suggestions given will be extremely helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like using a gun to kill a midget (or spam) ... in the meantime I've put up an example of using COPY, see here
