Create a table :

CREATE TABLE num (
 id serial NOT NULL ,
 adsh VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 tag VARCHAR(256) NOT NULL,
 version VARCHAR(20) NOT NULL,
 coreg VARCHAR(256),
 ddate date NOT NULL,
 qtrs DECIMAL(8) NOT NULL,
 uom VARCHAR(20),
 value DECIMAL(28,4),
 footnote VARCHAR(512)
);

I want to import the sample.txt data into num table:

adsh tag version coreg ddate qtrs uom value footnote
0001213900-20-033598 DueToAsiyaCommunicationsSapiDeC.v.Current 0001213900-20-033598 20191231 0 USD 
0001213900-20-033598 DueToDinarZuzLLC 0001213900-20-033598 20200630 0 USD 178000.0000 Due to the April 6, 2020 180 days Loan Agreement with the Company to borrow up to 250ドル at an annual interest rate of nine percent (9.0%) ("the second "Dinar Zuz Note").
0001213900-20-033598 DueToNextCalaCurrent 0001213900-20-033598 20181231 0 USD -14000.0000 
0001213900-20-033598 DueToNextCalaCurrent 0001213900-20-033598 20191231 0 USD 

The command to import the data in sample.txt into the table:

COPY num(adsh,tag,version,coreg,ddate,qtrs,uom,value,footnote)
FROM 'sample.txt' 
DELIMITER E'\t'
CSV HEADER;

It encounter an error:

ERROR: unterminated CSV quoted field
CONTEXT: COPY num, line 6: "0001213900-20-033598 DueToDinarZuzLLC 0001213900-20-033598 20200630 0 USD 178000.0000 Due to the Ap..."

Please fix it without editing the primitive data.

" is the default quotation character in a CSV file. It quotes fields that contains delimiters and cannot be unbalanced

Use the QUOTE option to specify a different quote character:

COPY num(adsh,tag,version,coreg,ddate,qtrs,uom,value,footnote)
FROM 'sample.txt'
(QUOTE E'\u0007', DELIMITER E'\t', FORMAT 'csv', HEADER);

This assumes that the BEL character (ASCII 7) does not appear in your data.

Import the csv file using the Import/Export data option, Select the file you want to Import Go to Options, scroll down to "Escape" select double quotes instead of single quotes "
