Normalization tools for postgres?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Anyone have recommendations on tools/utilities or SQL approaches to quickly break apart a large imported flat file into normal forms, ideally 1NF or 2NF?

I noticed this tool for mySQL which captures what I am looking for: http://www.sqldbu.com/eng/sections/tips/normalize.html

Given the fields with data to be output into separate tables, it takes a csv and automatically generates a set of INSERT queries to build all the related tables with new a new primary key for the main table and serialized codes for each of the new tables to maintain relationships.

Perhaps a customized php script could accomplish the same thing for postgres?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

        .ConnectionString = "Driver={PostgreSQL

Should I have created the table "Contact1" WITH
OIDS ?

I wonder if this is a problem with the way your ODBC driver is configured. If it is a problem with your ODBC driver configuration, you might also try posting to the PostgreSQL-ODBC mailing list.

Also, why did you choose the ANSI driver over the Unicode driver?
