Importing a CSV file into postgres - skip the first line

Question

How do I import a CSV file into postgres and make it skip the first line (it's just column titles). I try: ``` \COPY products(sight, department) from 'coy.csv' with (FORMAT CSV); ```

Accepted Answer

Adding the HEADER line will account for the first line being column headers.

```
COPY products (sight,department) FROM 'coy.csv' CSV HEADER;
```
