Hi list,
I am trying to transfer the following from MySQL to PostgreSQL:
load data local
infile 'D:/tmp/InterAcces- MySQL/03102005/bedrijven.txt'
into table bedrijven
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '^'
lines terminated by ';\r\n';
Is there a way to do this without changing the file (this file is delivered by a 3rd party)? Btw, I am on the win32 platform.
Here is an example from the file:
6603,^J.J. De Graaf^,^Achthovenerweg^,^1A^,^2351 AX^,^Leiderdorp^,^Revisievergunning (art. 8.4 Wm) (nieuw, de gehele inrichting omvattend)^,^2^,^50^,^1993-12-14^,^60^,^De Heer J.J. De Graaf^,^3^,^Veehouderijen (Niet Intensief)^,^3^,^96856^,^461861^,^^,^^,^2003-06-04^,^2005-09-28^,^16:22:00^,^^;
6605,^Neuteboom Tweewielers^,^Touwbaan^,^1E^,^2352 CZ^,^Leiderdorp^,^Meldingsplichtig ^,^1^,^50^,^1998-10-07^,^60^,^H. Neuteboom^,^1^,^Verkoop/Reparatie (Brom)Fietsen^,^10^,^95811^,^464378^,^M01^,^Detailhandel- En Ambachtsbedrijven^,^2004-01-06^,^2005-09-28^,^16:22:00^,^^;
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,

Normally, I'd pipe it through a Perl filter into a COPY FROM STDIN
command. Not sure what you'll have installed on Windows.
Oh - and you might need to correct some of the data if MySQL isn't being
strict enough.

I would have to second Richard on the last statement.
MySQL formats many data types in ways that may not be possible to
directly import into PostgreSQL, and has a bad habit of using non-
standard representations for NULL; such as '00-00-0000' for date, and
other similar invalid or wrong data values for NULL in other types.
Good Luck
