pg-writable

Very quickly write an array of raw values into a postgres table. pg-writable uses PostgreSQL copy-from mode to write binary data to a table very efficiently. It's very brittle, but much, much faster than doing insert statements.

install

$ npm i pg-writable

use

//assume we have a table named 'my_table' with
//a schema of CREATE TABLE my_table(name text, age int)
 
var writable = require('pg-writable')('my_table')
 
for(var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
  writable.write(['name' + i, i])
}
writable.end()
