In <literal>CSV</> mode, all characters are significant. A quoted value
surrounded by white space, or any characters other than
<literal>DELIMITER</>, will include those characters. This can cause
errors if you import data from a system that pads <literal>CSV</>
lines with white space out to some fixed width. If such a situation
arises you might need to preprocess the <literal>CSV</> file to remove
the trailing white space, before importing the data into
<productname>PostgreSQL</>.
