Thread: Inserting rpt content from a file into a table column in json format.
Hello everyone,
I have a 5gb rpt file.
Rpt file content is as follows:
(base) skoc@skoc ~ % head -5 '/Users/skoc/postgresql/lx/lxRo.rpt'
lxOid|lxFlags|lxType|lxFromLat|lxFromId|lxToLat|lxToId|lxCrDate|lxRelRul|lxModDate|lxOwner|lxAltOwn1|lxAltOwn2|lxTenant|lxDOV|lxIOV|lxToType

Delimiters is “|”
Current posttgresql version:
PostgreSQL 16.2 on x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0, compiled by Apple clang version 12.0.5 (clang-1205.0.22.9), 64-bit
plm=# show work_mem;
work_mem
----------
16MB
(1 row)
I created a table with the following command.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.lxbo
(
c1 serial NOT NULL,
c2 jsonb NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT lxbo_pkey PRIMARY KEY (c1)
)
The process I want to do:
insert the data whose content is specified above into column c2 in jsonb format.
1-How should the rpt file content be converted to jsonb format?
2-What is the way to import the relevant jsonb file into the table I specified?
3-Do I need to update the work_mem value and/or any other value?
Thanks

You did not say how the jsonb should look. I assume you want a separate
row for each line in the rpt file and use the same property names as in
the header row.

Because the rpt file looks like CSV, I'd create a temporary table with
the same columns as in the rpt file and load the file with \copy:
CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_lxbo (...);
\copy tmp_lxbo from '/Users/skoc/postgresql/lx/lxRo.rpt' (format csv, delimiter '|', header match)
Then convert the tmp_lxbo rows with to_jsonb:
INSERT INTO public.lxbo (c2) SELECT to_jsonb(lxbo_raw.*) FROM tmp_lxbo;

No, not for this import process. work_mem is relevant for query
operations such as sorting and merging.
