pgloader is a data loading tool for PostgreSQL, using the `COPY` command.

Its main advantage over just using `COPY` or `\copy`, and over using a
*Foreign Data Wrapper*, is its transaction behaviour, where *pgloader*
will keep a separate file of rejected data, but continue trying to
`copy` good data in your database.

The default PostgreSQL behaviour is transactional, which means that
*any* erroneous line in the input data (file or remote database) will
stop the entire bulk load for the table.

pgloader also implements data reformatting, a typical example of that
being the transformation of MySQL datestamps `0000-00-00` and
`0000-00-00 00:00:00` to PostgreSQL `NULL` value (because our calendar
never had a *year zero*).

## Usage

You can either give a command file to pgloader or run it all from the
command line, see the
[pgloader quick start](https://pgloader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tutorial/tutorial.html#pgloader-quick-start) on
for more details.

$ ./build/bin/pgloader --help
$ ./build/bin/pgloader

For example, for a full migration from SQLite:

$ createdb newdb
$ pgloader ./test/sqlite/sqlite.db postgresql:///newdb

Or for a full migration from MySQL, including schema definition (tables,
indexes, foreign keys, comments) and parallel loading of the corrected data:

$ createdb pagila
$ pgloader mysql://user@localhost/sakila postgresql:///pagila
