I am no expert but this should definitely be possible with postgres.
The posgres command in the loop should look like so (not sure about the password):
psql -U <user> -d mydatabase -c ""insert into mytable (aaa,bbb) values ('xxx', 'yyy');"

Hey,
I have spend the last several days looking for a website or how to that would show me how to call postgresql in bash script. I know that in mysql I can do like this
for i in `cat myfile.txt` ; do mysql -uxxx -pxxxx -Asse mydatabase "insert into mytable (aaa,bbb) values ("xxx", "yyy");"
I have tried to do what with pgsql and it not working. I have looked at my two books I have and they are very limited.
Can some what tell if postgre has flag like -Asse? Or show me a simple script they have do that is kinda like above.
Thanks,
Payne
