Hi all
I am using the below way to copy the data from Postgre table to csv file

SQL

Copy (SELECT * from tbl_login) To 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\data.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;

But it's giving error

ERROR: could not open file "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\data.csv" for writing: Permission denied
SQL state: 42501

Please tell me what is wrong..
If there is any other way please tell to export data from postgresql to csv/excel.

Give a file path that is not restricted, such as your own documents directory.

You will need to investigate further why this is happening, as it's impossible for us to guess what your setup is.

Solution 1

You might be firing this query from remote computer. This query will export csv file on server only not on your remote desktop.
You have to use server for this operation.

Solution 2

Check the export the same location as postgres data available, i.e postgres/data.

COPY Table_Name TO '/home/postgres/data/table_data_export.csv';

Here Table_name: exportingtable name
Path: location of greenplum/data
