title: Importing and maintaining multiple csv files into PostgreSQL
body: <p>I am new to using SQL, so please bear with me.</p>
  
  <p>I need to import several hundred csv files into PostgreSQL. My web search has only indicated how to import many csv files into one table. However, most csv files have different column types (all have one line headers). Is it possible to somehow run a loop, and have each csv imported to a table with the same name as the csv? Creating each table manually and specifying columns is not an option. I know that <code>COPY</code> will not work as the table needs to already by specified.</p>
  
  <p>Perhaps this is not feasible in PostgreSQL? I would like to accomplish this in pgAdmin III or the PSQL console, but I am open to other ideas (using something like R to change the csv to a format more easily entered into PostgreSQL?).</p>
  
  <p>I am using PostgreSQL on a Windows 7 computer. It was requested that I use PostgreSQL, thus the focus of the question. </p>
  
  <p>The desired result is a database full of tables, that I will then join with a spreadsheet that includes specific site data. Thanks!</p>
