Good day all As I am fairly new to postgresql I am trying to find
some more info regarding options to dump specific data to files. Let me give you guys some idea on what I mean by
this.... Currently there is a java/perl process that runs and
creates datadumps for clients with specific data as per specifications and this
creates 4 output files which then are compressed and ftp’d to the client. The current process takes a very long time to run despite
the fact that it does not need to process a lot of data. Optimisations have been done on the Database side and the
process is still running very long. What we are now trying to achieve is to use the Linux
scripting and SQL scripting combination to try and rewrite the process in order
to compare the two processes. However, even though I can get the sql query,etc... how
will I use this to dump the data into the relevant files? Any suggestions and assistance would be greatly
appreciated. Regards Machiel |
