How to import CSV file data into a PostgreSQL table?

Question

How can I write a stored procedure that imports data from a CSV file and populates the table?

Answer 1

You can create a bash file as import.sh (that your CSV format is a tab delimiter)

#!/usr/bin/env bash

USER="test"
DB="postgres"
TBALE_NAME="user"
CSV_DIR="$(pwd)/csv"
FILE_NAME="user.txt"

echo $(psql -d $DB -U $USER  -c "\copy $TBALE_NAME from '$CSV_DIR/$FILE_NAME' DELIMITER E'\t' csv" 2>&1 |tee /dev/tty)

And then run this script.
