To be very straightforward :
your bash script will dynamically create the sql query in a string,
then send it to database using psql.
You can also use pipes.
For example :
$4 -c "COPY $1 FROM '/tmp/pipe_ply_binaire_vers_ply_ascii_"$1"' WITH
CSV DELIMITER AS ' ';";
where $4 is the psql command to connect to db, $1 the number in the
name of the file we are working in, etc
One problem with this is that it requires your shell script to have
superuser access to your database, since it is directly running a COPY
command. This may or may not matter, depending on setup - for instance,
you might trust local Unix sockets, meaning someone would need access to
the box first. It's probably best to never have a non-interactive
process able to connect with elevated privileges though.
