PGLoader

Build Status Join the chat at https://gitter.im/dimitri/pgloader Read The Docs Status

pgloader is a data loading tool for PostgreSQL, using the COPY command.

Its main advantage over just using COPY or \copy, and over using a Foreign Data Wrapper, is its transaction behaviour, where pgloader will keep a separate file of rejected data, but continue trying to copy good data in your database.

The default PostgreSQL behaviour is transactional, which means that any erroneous line in the input data (file or remote database) will stop the entire bulk load for the table.

pgloader also implements data reformatting, a typical example of that being the transformation of MySQL datestamps 0000-00-00 and 0000-00-00 00:00:00 to PostgreSQL NULL value (because our calendar never had a year zero).

Full documentation is available online, including manual pages of all the pgloader sub-commands. Check out https://pgloader.readthedocs.io/.

Usage

You can either give a command file to pgloader or run it all from the command line, see the pgloader quick start on https://pgloader.readthedocs.io for more details.

$ ./build/bin/pgloader --help
$ ./build/bin/pgloader <file.load>

For example, for a full migration from SQLite:

$ createdb newdb
$ pgloader ./test/sqlite/sqlite.db postgresql:///newdb

Or for a full migration from MySQL, including schema definition (tables, indexes, foreign keys, comments) and parallel loading of the corrected data:

$ createdb pagila
$ pgloader mysql://user@localhost/sakila postgresql:///pagila

LICENCE

pgloader is available under The PostgreSQL Licence.

INSTALL

Please see full documentation at https://pgloader.readthedocs.io/.

If you're using debian, it's already available:

$ apt-get install pgloader

If you're using docker, you can use the latest version built by the CI at each commit to the master branch:

$ docker pull ghcr.io/dimitri/pgloader:latest
$ docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/dimitri/pgloader:latest pgloader --version
