You did not say how the jsonb should look. I assume you want a separate row for each line in the rpt file and use the same property names as in the header row. > 1-How should the rpt file content be converted to jsonb format? > 2-What is the way to import the relevant jsonb file into the table I specified? Because the rpt file looks like CSV, I'd create a temporary table with the same columns as in the rpt file and load the file with \copy: CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_lxbo (...); \copy tmp_lxbo from '/Users/skoc/postgresql/lx/lxRo.rpt' (format csv, delimiter '|', header match) Then convert the tmp_lxbo rows with to_jsonb: INSERT INTO public.lxbo (c2) SELECT to_jsonb(lxbo_raw.*) FROM tmp_lxbo; > 3-Do I need to update the work_mem value and/or any other value? No, not for this import process. work_mem is relevant for query operations such as sorting and merging. -- Erik
