I have 100 script files which has insert scripts for the table. How can I execute these?

Scrip1.sql , script2.sql, script3.sql .... script100.sql

To execute single file, I am using the below command. But how can I execute all files?

psql -d DBName -p 5444 -U schemaname -f P_Scrip1.sql  2> err.log

If you don't need to provide a password, it's easy:

for FILE in `ls -1 *.sql`
do
  psql -d DBName -p 5444 -U schemaname -f $FILE  2>$FILE.err.log
done

If you need to provide a password, concatenate all of the files together, then run psql:

for FILE in `ls -1 *.sql`
do
  cat $FILE >> /tmp/allfiles.sql
done

psql -d DBName -p 5444 -U schemaname -f /tmp/allfiles.sql 2>allfiles.err.log

rm /tmp/allfiles.sql

  • @asalthangam: providing a password for that is a different question then "how do I run 100 SQL scripts" - see here for an answer to that: dba.stackexchange.com/questions/14740/…

if you are using Linux you can use the following script

for ((i=1;i<101;i++)); do psql -d DBName -p 5444 -U schemaname -f P_Scrip${i}.sql 2> err.log & done

  • file name is not unique . it is aa.sql , bb.sql ma.sql like that Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 12:47
  • I wrote the script based on the information on the question, based on your comment, my solution will not work. Phil answer will do the trick. Commented Oct 17, 2016 at 12:59
