I have a very large text file that gets dumped into a directoory every now and then. It is typically around 750MB long, at least, and my question is:
What is the best method to parse this thing and insert the data into a postgres db? I have tried using file(), fget*() and some others, all with limited success. It goes through OK (I am sending it to a background process on the server and using a callback function to email me when done) but it is really knocking the machine hard, besides taking a real long time to finish. Is there a better way of approaching this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Paul
