Re: convert text file to database

i think you want convert text file to database. You can use COPY
command and you can add a column whose value is id number such as
1,2,3....you can set the column is series type or you can first create
a sequence and set default value of new column be sequence .

SQL is :

1. ALTER TABLE xxxxx

ADD COLUMN id series;

2.

CREATE SEQUENCE public. mile_danxianhe_gid_seq

INCREMENT 1 MINVALUE 1

MAXVALUE 9223372036854775807 START 1

CACHE 1;

ALTER TABLE public.yantian_2006_mile

ADD COLUMN id integer DEFAULT nextval('mile_danxianhe_gid_seq'::regclass)；

wish you can understand my explain.

best regard.

I amended a copy of my csv files as follows

2,OnlineGame,wwwflyordiecom,yyyy/mm/dd,1,player1,player2,0-1,normal,yyyy/mm/dd,1200,1d4d5...33Bf3Rxe50-1
3,OnlineGame,wwwflyordiecom,yyyy/mm/dd,1,player1,player2,0-1,normal,yyyy/mm/dd,1,player1,player2,1200,1e4d52e5d4...Nxf2#0-1

Compared to my original csv file, I had to remove the field names that
were in the csv file (e.g. event,onlinegame,site,www...,date,yyyy....

I also had to remove all full stop (.) characters, such as in the url
name and within the list of moves (e.g. 1. e4 d7 2. gf3...). Instead
of removing the full stops, could I have prefixed the character with
the backstroke (\), e.g. to become www\.flyordie\.com? The user guide
says so but when I tried the csv file import failed.

Moreover, I had to add an id number to represent the id primary key,
as the first column of data. I thought there would be a way to
automatically add this column to the csv file?
