pg_copy_from — Insere registros em uma tabela a partir de um array
$connection,$table_name,$rows,$separator = "\t",$null_as = "\\\\N"
pg_copy_from() insere registros em uma tabela a partir de
rows. Ele emite um comando SQL COPY FROM
internamente para inserir registros.
connectionUma instância de PgSql\Connection.
table_name
Nome da tabela na qual copiar as rows.
rows
Um array de dados a serem copiados em table_name.
Cada valor em rows se torna uma linha em table_name.
Cada valor em rows deve ser uma string delimitada dos valores
a serem inseridos em cada campo. Os valores devem ser finalizados com avanço de linha.
separator
O token que separa os valores de cada campo em cada elemento de
rows. O padrão é \t.
null_as
Como os valores SQL NULL são representados nas
rows. O padrão é \\N ("\\\\N").

O parâmetro connection agora espera uma instância de PgSql\Connection;
anteriormente, um resource era esperado.

Exemplo #1 Exemplo de pg_copy_from()
<?php
$db = pg_connect("dbname=publisher") or die("Não foi possível conectar");
$rows = pg_copy_to($db, $table_name);
pg_query($db, "DELETE FROM $table_name");
pg_copy_from($db, $table_name, $rows);
?>As table name you can also specify columns you want imported.
Will import all columns:
<?php
pg_copy_from($db, 'cpm.ics', $rows);
?>
Will import only specified columns:
<?php
pg_copy_from($db, 'cpm.ics (type, product, date, count, amount)', $rows);
?>To solve the problem of how many backslashes to use for the parameters $separator and $null_as: The backslashes are interpreted twice, first by PHP and then by PostgreSQL. So write four backslashes to indicate one backslash in the input data. So both '\\\\N' and as "\\\\N" become NULL AS E'\\N' meaning the same as NULL AS '\N' in the internally used SQL statement.
The loaded input data must be backslash-escaped. According to the PostgreSQL documentation, you can use the following escape sequences:
\\ = Backslash (ASCII 92)
\b = Backspace (ASCII 8)
\t = Tab (ASCII 9)
\n = Newline (ASCII 10)
\v = Vertical tab (ASCII 11)
\f = Form feed (ASCII 12)
\r = Carriage return (ASCII 13)
\000 (Backslash followed by one to three octal digits) = the byte with that numeric code
\x00 (Backslash x followed by one or two hex digits) = the byte with that numeric code
With the default setting, a data field containing only \N (one non-escaped backslash and an N) indicates a NULL value. This default value \N has been chosen because it does not collide with properly encoded data.When using this function, don't get bit by the double quote (") vs. single quote (') differences. It is a small thing, but the error messaging is misleading. If you use a single quote, you will see the \t separated values all try to be inserted into the first field.
Small consideration, but will save someone who is working late and can't get these functions to work.see also: pg_put_line for a solution that does not require buffering of all the data to be copied,Default is "\\\N" not "\\N" at least in php 5.4
pg_copy_from($db, $table_name, "\t", "\\\N")By default NULL values are a backslash followed with capital N ("\\N").
Also, you can't insert entries with OIDs (I've added it to my TODO list though)As of postgresql 9.1 "standard_conforming_strings" is set to on
This will not work anymore
<?php
$copy_message = "1\t\\N\t300";
pg_copy_from($db, "message", $copy_message);
?>
result will be a "N" in that field. if the field allow text that is else it will fail to insert the post.
simple fix
<?php
$copy_message = "1\t\\NULL\t300";
pg_copy_from($db, "message", $copy_message, "\t","\\NULL");
?>pg syntax is :
COPY test (cola, colb, colc) FROM stdin;
...
this function doesn't let you in which order the columns are !Something needs to be said about the format of the array.
Judging by what I've seen, it's pretty much what you get
from loading a tab-separated file with file(). That is, the
lines are linefeed-terminated and there's no need to have
an extra line with "\.". On the other hand, when I try using this
command the connection to the server ends up in some odd
state and is then lost:
PHP Warning: U?S?o() query failed: server closed the connection unexpectedly
I think it might be safer to use the lower-level function
pg_put_line() for now.
