Hello,
Given a long list like this:
1,2
2,4 --> 2 appears once
7,9
8,9
5,3
2,5 --> note 2 appears twice
I want to load it into this table:
create table tbl (
id integer primary key,
fids integer[]
)
so we will have 2 -> [4,5] where 2 is id and [4,5] are the fids
My actual dataset is very large and has 100M rows in it. How can it be efficiently loaded into postgres?
I think I have to use a program for this and am trying to use the pg library that comes with Node.js. I am reading the data in batches of 1M or 100k rows for example. I have created a dictionary in Node.js where I am storing the hashmap. The part where I am stuck is how to generate the SQL command?
1. I want to make one call to the server for the batch of 1M rows, not 1M calls
2. Some keys in the hashmap might already exist in the database. For these keys we want to append to the array
3. Some keys will not exist and for these we want to insert new rows
Can someone help me please? I am using Postgres for the first time.
