batch file

Hi all!,

I want to execute several SQL statements one after another.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create something like a "batch file" 
which contains all SQL commands I want.

Best Regards:
Milen

I just put files commands that I want in some file
like "foo.sql" and then do:

psql mydatabase -f foo.sql

Is this what you are looking for?

Hi,

I am not sure what's your question.
However, you can list a bunch of SQL statements in a text file:
e.g.
myfile.sql which contains:

select * from tablename where ....
update tablename set ... where ...
.....

then, you can just run it like:


psql -q dbname < myfile.sql

You can do exactly that.

Use "man psql" to find out about the -f option or the \i option.

That or just separate commands by a semi colon:

select * from table1; select * from table2;
