Thank you for answering.
I`ve read a manual and now I have a more advanced question.
1/ I`ve created a table in the database
mypdb=# create table pdb(
index int,
filename text,
filecontent text
);
2/ Then I want to read a file into it
First I insert metainfo
mypdb=# insert into pdb (index , filename) values (1,
'/home/sda/Documents/Work/PVA_India/PGA_test_modeling/pdb/1gm9.pdb');
INSERT 0 1
But then comes the problem because the only command I found to read in
the file content is COPY but the following command would not work
mypdb=# copy pdb (filecontent) from
'/home/sda/Documents/Work/PVA_India/PGA_test_modeling/pdb/1gm9.pdb'
where index=1;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "where"
LINE 1: ...ts/Work/PVA_India/PGA_test_modeling/pdb/1gm9.pdb' where
inde...
QUESTION: what is the command to read the content of a plain text file
into a SPECIFIED table entry?
Thank you for your time.
