pg_put_line

Name

pg_put_line — Sends a null-terminated string to a back-end server.

Synopsis

int pg_put_line([conn], data); int conn (optional): Connection ID string data: Data to insert

Returns

TRUE on success; FALSE on error

Description

Sends a null-terminated string to the PostgreSQL server back end initiated by the COPY() SQL statement. The COPY statement expects data to be tab-delimited, as demonstrated in the following example.

While the NULL terminator is sent automatically, "\." must be sent to indicate that all data has been sent. When sending backslashes in your application, remember to escape them with another backslash (\\) as shown in the example.

Example

Example 1057. Insert a CSV file programatically

$file = file("test.csv");
// example in file test.csv: 1,John,3.3
$db = pg_connect("host=dbserver dbname=db user=dbuser password=dbpasswd");
pg_exec($db, "CREATE TABLE mydata (id int4, name char(16), ratio float8)");
pg_exec($db, "COPY bar FROM stdin");

foreach ($file as $line) {
    $tmp = explode(",", $line);
    pg_put_line($db, sprintf("%d\t%s\t%.2f\n", $tmp[0], $tmp[1], $tmp[2]));
}

pg_put_line($db, "\\.\n");
pg_end_copy($db);
