Hi Team,
Here we go. I will give the problem in more detail
Step 1:We get the dump from DB2 and this dump is flat file which can be csv,txt
Step2:There is table in PostGre where we are suppose to upload the dump
Step3:We are using copy command to upload dump to the table using (COPY <<TableName>> from 'C:\Data_Dump\ABC.txt' DELIMITER '|'; )
Step 4:In the above step we are using delimiter because the data is separated (:) in the flat which we have received from the flat file
Problem Statement:We are able to upload the data from the flat file which we got from the DB2 but few data the data consist of " \".For example if the CustomerName is Vinod\G in the flat file ,we expect the same data in PostGre table for CustomerName as Vinod\G but we see VinodG(slash is missed).
Possible Solution: We can replace "\" with "\\" but if the file is in too large we cannot open it(we can replace if the file is medium or small)
Expectation: We need a command or utility which can upload the data as it is (for example if Vinod\G then we should see in PostGre as Vinod\G but not VinodG)
So everything works except the backslashes disappear, correct? As many
have said all you need to do is double the backslashes, and apparently
you done that on small files. How have you done that? Perhaps with an
editor? For the large files you must use a tool (perl awk, even a
trivial C program) to double the backslashes.
