Re: bulk insert using COPY and PHP code

Hi Pavel,

Thanks.

The situation is, I have the DB class which will return the connection object that is created using the PDO class. And am using that object to perform the db operations. ie: $DB->prepare("")

Further I have the data in a CSV file which has to be inserted into the table.

Here is the command that I have used to import that data:

$DB->exec("\COPY table1 FROM data.csv WITH DELIMITERS ','");

And this dosen't work, it throws an error "error near "\" char 1 along with the command

But the same command works fine on the psql prompt.

Thanks again,
- Babu

hello

look on http://php.net/manual/en/function.pg-put-line.php

<?php
  $conn = pg_pconnect("dbname=foo");
  pg_query($conn, "create table bar (a int4, b char(16), d float8)");
  pg_query($conn, "copy bar from stdin");
  pg_put_line($conn, "3\thello world\t4.5\n");
  pg_put_line($conn, "4\tgoodbye world\t7.11\n");
  pg_put_line($conn, "\\.\n");
  pg_end_copy($conn);
?>
