Are dumping the entire contents of each file or are you pulling a portion of the data out?
Yes, all the fields in the file have to be loaded to the columns in the tables in postgres. But how will that matter here for deciding if we should ask the data in .csv or .avro format from the outside system to load into the postgres database in row and column format? Again my understanding was that irrespective of anything , the .csv file load will always faster as because the data is already stored in row and column format as compared to the .avro file in which the parser has to perform additional job to make it row and column format or map it to the columns of the database table. Is my understanding correct here?
