Description
While creating a staging table, it should be essentially a clone of the main table. Use
CREATE TABLE staging (LIKE main)
to create a staging table.If we are issuing a
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS
statement, we are mapping strings with varchar(65535) while the main table can have varchar(512). COPY to staging table will succeed but insert into the main table will fail with the following errorinserting into original table: pq: Value too long for character type
