Re: Data dumps to files - best methods?

Hi All

 

       Thank you for the responses so far...

 

    I do however have a more specific question regarding this data dump that I need to create for them.

 

   From what I can see in the specs and current output files, the client needs the data output in .xml format in order to use this on their side, still trying to understand why though...

 

       Is there a method of outputting / dumping the data into .xml format as part of the scripts / crons/ db processes?

     However, even though I can get the sql query,etc... how will I use this to dump the data into the relevant files?

 

You can use the "\copy" command in psql to export the result of query into a file. For example:

 

> psql -c "\\copy (select * from atable) to 'myfile.csv' with delimiter as ',' csv header" adb

 

will copy all rows from "atable" in "adb" to "myfile.csv" in csv format.
