There is no single straightforward answer to that.

Supposing I want a batch to either all be processed, or to all not process, then I might write a sql file like:

begin;

\copy table_1 (c1, c2, c3) from '/path/tabledata1.csv' csv header;

\copy table_2 (c1, c2, c3) from '/path/tabledata2.csv' csv header;

\copy table_3 (c1, c2, c3) from '/path/tabledata3.csv' csv header;

commit;

But you may be fine with having a separate SQL script for each table.

There will be conditions where one or the other is more appropriate, and that will be based on the requirements of the process.

Also, the problem is I can't pull/execute psql from window client to pull the psql in aws instance and don't know how to create the batch script for this run. I tried simple \copy pull from c:\tes.csv and psql is unknown.

You cannot run psql without having it installed; there is a Windows installer for PostgreSQL, so you could use that to get it installed.

Hopefully there is an installer that will just install PostgreSQL client software (like psql, pg_dump, and notably *not* the database server software); I don't use WIndows, so I am not too familiar with that.

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"

Yes, I do have putty installed but can't connect to the aws postgres instance. Only work for oracle instance. Only connect postgres instance using pgadmin.

follow the url and the login prompt for username and hung there.

I get this part that separates SQL script for import each table,

(import.sql)

begin;
\copy table_1 (c1, c2, c3) from '/path/tabledata1.csv' csv header;
commit;

but when open the psql sql shell script it prompts line by line for localhost, port, db, user, and password. If I set up a script and let it run it won't connect to the postgresql instance. I want to know how to execute a batch script connect to the database/instance.

In oracle I created a shell script with all oracle_sid, oracle_home, and read the function/procedure... for psql, especially from window client, I did put psql_home and connect to the instance, it failed

c:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql -d PSCIDR -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -i import.sql

even I do a simple count

c:\Progra~1\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql -d PSCIDR -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -c "select count(*) from tableA";

none of them is work. Try to learn how to execute its script.

The above should be -f import.sql. AFAIK there is no -i for psql, so 
that should be failing.

you can do this once you are in psql. But if you are running from shell script, it will be an error

>>What error messages do you get?

my shell script is:

@echo off

C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 -c "select count(*) from tableA;"

pause

the error I have is 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I even surround the path in quotes because of space.

@echo off

cmd /c ""C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 -c "select count(*) from tableA;"

pause

error is: 'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql: illegal option -- u

when I put -P Password123 (or fully qualified password=Password123)

it gives me another error "pset: unknow option: Password123

psql: could not set printing parameter "Password123"

I can connect from psql shell fine when it prompt hostname, username (but connect to postgres not to PSmasteruser, PSmasteruser username set up for aws maintenance postgres database, someone did, not me and the password is same on both). Once I'm in psql and I can change to PSCIDR instance fine and run select count(*) from tableA;

The above should be -f import.sql. AFAIK there is no -i for psql, so
that should be failing.

Not sure how quoting works in Windows shell scripts, but pretty sure the 
above has unbalanced quotes.

I would recommend spending some time here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-psql.html

to see what the options are. Hint: -P is not the option for password.

It is the option for pset as the error message says.

thank you for the link. I did try it and it's still error

echo 'SELECT count(*) FROM tableA;' | C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432

I can run 'psql -u postgres -d PSCIDR -p 5432' (on Linux server, still learning how to run it from psql shell in Window) fine from psql prompt. Just still wonder how to connect directly to the instance PSCIDR from scripting in both aws and linux. Otherwise manually run using pgAdmin.

Once again -P has nothing to do with password. Also --password does not 
take an argument, it is meant to be used as is. The purpose is to force 
a password prompt. This is all spelled out here:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/app-psql.html

Also spelled out in above is:

" It is also convenient to have a ~/.pgpass file to avoid regularly 
having to type in passwords. See Section 33.15 for more information."

And Section 33.15:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/libpq-pgpass.html

"The file .pgpass in a user's home directory can contain passwords to be 
used if the connection requires a password (and no password has been 
specified otherwise).  ..."

Read more at link for how to do that.

Thank you sir and I am sorry for the typo not having "--" on password. I did spelling out with --password=mypassword

>> echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 --password=mypassword

even -W for password

>> echo select count(*) from tableA; | "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\11\bin\psql" -U PSmasteruser -d PSCIDR -h hostname.amazonaws.com -p 5432 -W=mypassword

none of them work, still prompt me for password to type in. I will look into the pgpassfile which I know it will fail again.

very respectfully,

Once again -P has nothing to do with password. Also --password does not
take an argument, it is meant to be used as is. The purpose is to force
a password prompt. This is all spelled out here:

Please go back and read my post again.

To be clear, there is no way to supply a password as a command line argument. It is fundamentally a bad idea and we don't even make it an option.

You need to decide on one of the actual ways of supplying a password, or choose an alternative authentication method like peer.

There is an alternate solution, which is to launch pgadmin GUI, connect to the database, tick « save password »

Then psql won’t prompt fir password any more.

Pay however attention to the security concern.

Pretty sure that is only within the context of pgAdmin.

Pretty sure that is only within the context of pgAdmin.

Re: create batch script to import into postgres tables

thank you for all the information but I have no problem connecting to the database using pgAdmin and/or directly psql from the postgres database.

I need to set up a batch/cron job to run in Linux/AWS to ingest the data. Therefore pgadmin GUI is not an option. I used pgAdmin to create tables, triggers, function triggers and manual importing/exporting. You can't schedule a time to run importing from csv file(s) using pgAdmin as same OEM.

The select table in this question is just an example for me to create scripting to see it connect or not. No one at work to manually run the script and enter the password. Need to bypass it like Oracle scripting. Since this is not an option to put the password to connect to the database and run the script(s), we will find another way to do.

I am thankful for all the input.

v/r,

And it has been explained upstream that one “way to do” is to use a .pgpass file for the cronjob user. And that file must be read-only to user, no access to group or other (chmod 400 $CRONUSER/.pgpass). Another is a “trust” entry for the user in pg_hba.conf. I suggest you revisit those messages.

There is pgAgent:

PostreSQL isn’t the issue here, you are. To the extent that others attempting to help you over email are insufficient is a failing driven mainly by the medium of choice probably being an inefficient medium for the student. What you want to do is possible but it requires understanding multiple applications. You are better off getting closer to your goal by reading books and articles about those applications and then asking better questions. Or at minimum being more detailed in stating your goal and requirements.

Separation of concerns. The server with the database cluster should probably not be running application code. Application code can be run other machine, “admin” machine is one label. Though for development it shouldn’t matter so long as the application is configurable. Configure it for local during development and when in production it pulls production configuration.
