Yes. This pgloader project is still maintained and somewhat active. Development happens when I receive a complaint, either about a bug in existing code or a feature in yet-to-write code. If you have a bug to report, just send me an email!
If you're following the development of it, the sources just moved from CVS
at pgfoundry to http://github.com/dimitri/pgloader. I will still put the
releases at pgfoundry, and the existing binary packages maintenance should
continue. See also the development version documentation, which contains not
yet released stuff.
This time it's about new features, the goal being to open pgloader usage
without describing all the file format related details into the
pgloader.conf file. This time around, Simon is giving feedback and told me
he would appreciate that pgloader would work more like the competition.
We're getting there with some new options. The first one is that rather than
only Sections, now your can give a filename as an argument. pgloader will
then create a configuration section for you, considering the file format to
be CSV, setting columns = *. The default field separator is |,
so you have also the -f, --field-separator option to set that from the
command line.
As if that wasn't enough, pgloader now supports any PostgreSQL option either
in the configuration file (prefix the real name with pg_option_) or on the
command line, via the -o, --pg-options switch, that you can use more than
once. Command line setting will take precedence over any other setup, of
course. Consider for example -o standard_conforming_strings=on.
While at it, some more options can now be set on the command line, including
-t, --section-threads and -m, --max-parallel-sections on the one hand and
-r, --reject-log and -j, --reject-data on the other hand. Those two last
must contain a %s place holder which will get replaced by the section name,
or the filename if you skipped setting up a section for it.
Your pgloader usage is now more command line friendly than ever!
