Import data from TXT file to PostgreSQL via command line on MacOS
1. In interactive mode:
pg-cmd> load loadtype=replace
> table=media_messages
> datafile=/Users/pan/Documents/media_messages.txt
> delimiter=|
> quote="
> header=y;
2. In batch mode:
pg-cmd dsn="pan:withdata@192.168.0.102/test" task=load loadtype=replace table=media_messages datafile=/Users/pan/Documents/media_messages.txt delimiter=| quote=" header=y quit=y
Set the “delimiter” to your real delimiter in datafile, maybe “|”, or “#”, or “;”, or others.
“loadtype=replace” will delete all data in table before inserting.
See parameters detail.
