Thread: Combining \i and \copy in psql
Greetings, I have a query in a .sql file and I'd like to use \i to execute it and \copy to save it to a csv file. Is there any way to combine the two? Something along the lines of: \copy \i myquery.sql to 'output.csv' Rhys Peace & Love|Live Long & Prosper
Greetings,
I have a query in a .sql file and I'd like to use \i to execute it and
\copy to save it to a csv file. Is there any way to combine the two?
Something along the lines of:
\copy \i myquery.sql to 'output.csv'
Maybe try something like:
\o output.csv
COPY (
\i myquery.sql
) TO stdout;
\o
You'll need to use COPY if you want to mix in \i with a query that would otherwise operate as a standard select query.
