From Local CSV File
You can import a local CSV file using the `psql \COPY` command to Hydra
Grab the psql
command from the Hydra dashboard, and get into the psql
console. To import a CSV file using the \COPY
command in psql
, you first need to create a table with columns that match the order and data types of the data in the CSV file. Then you can use the \COPY
command to import the data from the CSV file into the table.
Considered a CSV file with path path/to/file.csv
in your system:
Here's an example:
Replace the names and data types of the columns to match your actual CSV file, and replace path/to/file.csv
with the actual path to the CSV file on your system. The DELIMITER
option specifies the character that separates the values in the CSV file (in this case, a comma), and the CSV
and HEADER
options tell psql to expect the file to be in CSV format and that the first row of the file contains column names, respectively. It's a good idea to check the data after importing it to make sure it was imported correctly. You can do this by running a SELECT
query on the table to view the data.
For more information, you can refer to the \COPY
command documentation in the psql
reference guide:
