Update SQL Server table through CSV/TSV/TXT file via command line on MacOS
1. In interactive mode:
mssql-cmd> load loadtype=update
> updatekey=id
> table=media_messages
> datafile=/Users/pan/Documents/media_messages.csv
> delimiter=,
> quote="
> header=y;
2. In batch mode:
mssql-cmd dsn="pan:withdata@192.168.0.102/test" task=load loadtype=update updatekey=id table=media_messages datafile=/Users/pan/Documents/media_messages.csv delimiter=, quote=" header=y quit=y
“loadtype=update” will update row in table by “updatekey” id, not insert.
