Hi Chuck,

I am no expert but this should definitely be possible with postgres.

The posgres command in the loop should look like so (not sure about the
password):

psql -U <user> -d mydatabase -c ""insert into mytable  (aaa,bbb) values
('xxx', 'yyy');"

Cheers,

Andy

Hey,

I have spend the last several days looking for a website or how to that
would show me how to call postgresql in bash script. I know that in mysql I
can do like this

for i in `cat myfile.txt` ; do mysql -uxxx -pxxxx -Asse mydatabase
"insert into mytable  (aaa,bbb) values ("xxx", "yyy");"

I have tried to do what with pgsql and it not working. I have looked at my
two books I have and they are very limited.

Can some what tell if postgre has flag like -Asse? Or show me a simple
script they have do that is kinda like above.

Thanks,

Payne
