Without the input CSV file, there is not much we can say, apart from the fact that this input file does not match your COPY statement in some way.

Solution 1

If your table has a SERIAL field it must not be included in the copy statement.
See examples here: Import CSV File Into PosgreSQL Table[^]

It looks like the problem is in the date "05/08/2020" that's not an integer!
So either leave it out or change your table so that it has a matching date field.

Also the delimiter should be ; instead of ,
