Can anyone see what I'm misisng? I am trying to run a psql "copy from" command through a bash script to load a buch of cdv files into the same table. I'm getting an error about the file "infile" not existing?
#!/bin/sh
for infile in /path_to_files/*.csv do cat infile | psql dbname -c "\copy table_name FROM stdin with delimiter as ',' NULL AS 'NA' CSV HEADER" done
Once more quickie. It seems that I am going to be asked for my password every time psql loops through the copy statement.
What is considered best practices to handle authentication? I am connecting locally, as myself as the user and I'm being asked for my user password. I added the -w (no-password) to the psql statement, but now assume I need to add a .pgpass file or something.
