Qiuzhuang Lian commented on SQOOP-999:
--------------------------------------
With postgres copy delimiter as of ctrl+c like special char of \001, it would
break hadoop job.xml syntax since XML 1.0 can not support ctrl+x char in its
configurations. We have to encode this delimiter to work around copy.
> Support bulk load from HDFS to PostgreSQL using COPY ... FROM

> Initially taken from here:
> https://issues.cloudera.org/browse/SQOOP-184
> As Cloudera site is no longer used:
> {quote}
> Sqoop currently supports bulk export from PostgreSQL but not bulk import.
> PostgreSQL support COPY <table> FROM <filename> syntax and readily accepts
> CSV data. We should support this so there is --direct support in both
> directions.
> {quote}
> A note from myself:
> the pg_bulkupload feature is already implemented:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-390
> pg_builupload is a third-party tool, I guess supporting COPY would be a
> better case.
