I have a small problem,I need to export data from a table into a csv file.For this i am using pqxx library to work on it.I can able to retrieve the data from the database but the only problem is I am unable to store it in a csv file.Can you guys please help me how to do that.
Note:
1. Using COPY in this way is that Postgresql will create the csv file on the server's filesystem, not on your client machine, if you use a different machine for server and client.
2. when you create the file, the directory that you create the file in must be writable by Postgres, I just always use /tmp as anyone can create files in that directory.
3. #2 is probably specific to UNIX environments like Linux or MacOS X.
HTH,
