PostgreSQL output plugins for Embulk

PostgreSQL output plugins for Embulk loads records to PostgreSQL.

Overview

  • Plugin type: output
  • Load all or nothing: depnds on the mode. see bellow.
  • Resume supported: depnds on the mode. see bellow.

Configuration

  • host: database host name (string, required)
  • port: database port number (integer, default: 5432)
  • user: database login user name (string, required)
  • password: database login password (string, default: "")
  • database: destination database name (string, required)
  • schema: destination schema name (string, default: "public")
  • table: destination table name (string, required)
  • options: extra connection properties (hash, default: {})
  • mode: "replace", "merge" or "insert" (string, required)
  • ssl: enables SSL. data will be encrypted but CA or certification will not be verified (boolean, default: false)
  • batch_size: size of a single batch insert (integer, default: 16777216)
  • default_timezone: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp, this plugin needs to format the timestamp into a SQL string. This default_timezone option is used to control the timezone. You can overwrite timezone for each columns using column_options option. (string, default: UTC)
  • column_options: advanced: a key-value pairs where key is a column name and value is options for the column.
    • type: type of a column when this plugin creates new tables (e.g. VARCHAR(255), INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE). This used when this plugin creates intermediate tables (insert, truncate_insert and merge modes), when it creates the target table (insert_direct and replace modes), and when it creates nonexistent target table automatically. (string, default: depends on input column type. BIGINT if input column type is long, BOOLEAN if boolean, DOUBLE PRECISION if double, CLOB if string, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE if timestamp)
    • value_type: This plugin converts input column type (embulk type) into a database type to build a INSERT statement. This value_type option controls the type of the value in a INSERT statement. (string, default: depends on input column type. Available values options are: byte, short, int, long, double, float, boolean, string, nstring, date, time, timestamp, decimal, null, pass)
    • timestamp_format: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp and value_type is string or nstring, this plugin needs to format the timestamp value into a string. This timestamp_format option is used to control the format of the timestamp. (string, default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%6N)
    • timezone: If input column type (embulk type) is timestamp, this plugin needs to format the timestamp value into a SQL string. In this cases, this timezone option is used to control the timezone. (string, value of default_timezone option is used by default)

Modes

  • insert:
    • Behavior: This mode writes rows to some intermediate tables first. If all those tasks run correctly, runs INSERT INTO <target_table> SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_1> UNION ALL SELECT * FROM <intermediate_table_2> UNION ALL ... query.
    • Transactional: Yes. This mode successfully writes all rows, or fails with writing zero rows.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • insert_direct:
    • Behavior: This mode inserts rows to the target table directly.
    • Transactional: No. If fails, the target table could have some rows inserted.
    • Resumable: No.
  • truncate_insert:
    • Behavior: Same with insert mode excepting that it truncates the target table right before the last INSERT ... query.
    • Transactional: Yes.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • merge:
    • Behavior: This mode writes rows to some intermediate tables first. If all those tasks run correctly, runs with updated AS (UPDATE .... RETURNING ...) INSERT INTO .... query.
    • Transactional: Yes.
    • Resumable: Yes.
  • replace:
    • Behavior: Same with insert mode excepting that it truncates the target table right before the last INSERT ... query.
    • Transactional: Yes.
    • Resumable: No.

Example

out:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  user: pg
  password: ""
  database: my_database

  mode: insert

Advanced configuration:

out:
  type: postgresql
  host: localhost
  user: pg
  password: ""
  database: my_database
  table: my_table
  options: {loglevel: 2}
  mode: insert_direct
  column_options:
    my_col_1: {type: 'BIGSERIAL'}
    my_col_3: {type: 'INT NOT NULL'}
    my_col_4: {value_type: string, timestamp_format: `%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z`, timezone: '-0700'}
    my_col_5: {type: 'DECIMAL(18,9)', value_type: pass}
