Query to read a query in a file

I have huge create table queries (100's of Gb) which I'd like to ship throught ODBC to my db (Postgre in that case). The problem is that these queries are built from an external program, so I would like to avoid loading each query开发者_Python百科 in memory to ship it by ODBC to the db. I would much prefer to indicate to the db in a (small) query to go execute that huge query directly.

That could be easy with psql, but I'd like to do it throught odbc. Is it possible ?

If you mean bulk data load, PostgreSQL has COPY command - it can read the data file on the server directly but it can not process regular SQL queries - it can load data from file in the CSV or similiar format (which you can customize as a COPY parameters).

If you're loading table from scratch nice optimizations are having plain table (without PK, FK, constraints, indexes), and executing the COPY in the transaction together with TRUNCATE table like:

BEGIN; TRUNCATE ....; COPY ...; COMMIT;
