pg_copy_from( PgSql\Connection $connection, string $table_name, array $rows, string $separator = "\t", string $null_as = "\\\\N" ): bool
pg_copy_from() inserts records into a table from rows. It issues a COPY FROM SQL command internally to insert records.
connectionAn PgSql\Connection instance.
table_name Name of the table into which to copy the rows.
rows An array of data to be copied into table_name. Each value in rows becomes a row in table_name. Each value in rows should be a delimited string of the values to insert into each field. Values should be linefeed terminated.
separator The token that separates values for each field in each element of rows. Default is \t.
null_as How SQL NULL values are represented in the rows. Default is \\N ("\\\\N").
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 8.1.0 | The connection parameter expects an PgSql\Connection instance now; previously, a resource was expected. |
