.. method:: copy_from(file, table, sep='\\t', null='\\N', columns=None)
|

|

Read data *from* the file-like object :obj:`file` appending them to
|

the table named :obj:`table`. :obj:`file` must have both ``read()``
|

and ``readline()`` method. See :ref:`copy` for an overview. ::

The optional argument :obj:`sep` is the columns separator and
|

:obj:`null` represents ``NULL`` values in the file.
|

|

The :obj:`columns` argument is a sequence of field names: if not
|
||||
``None`` only the specified fields will be included in the dump.

Write the content of the table named :obj:`table` *to* the file-like object :obj:`file`. :obj:`file` must have a ``write()`` method. See

:ref:`copy` for an overview. ::

match the content of the read file.

Submit a user-composed ``COPY`` statement. The method is useful to

handle all the parameters that PostgreSQL makes available (see

:obj:`file` must be an open, readable file for ``COPY FROM`` or an

open, writeable file for ``COPY TO``. The optional :obj:`size`
|

argument, when specified for a ``COPY FROM`` statement, will be passed
|

to file's read method to control the read buffer size.

|

---------------------------
|

|

Psycopg :class:`cursor` objects provide an interface to the efficient
|

PostgreSQL `COPY command`_ to move data from files to tables and back.
|
||||
PostgreSQL |COPY|__ command to move data from files to tables and back.
|
||||
The methods exposed are:
|
||||
|
||||
The :meth:`cursor.copy_to()` method writes the content of a table *to* a
|
||||
file-like object. The target file must have a ``write()`` method.
|
||||
:meth:`cursor.copy_to()`
|
||||
Writes the content of a table *to* a file-like object (``COPY table TO
|
||||
file`` syntax). The target file must have a ``write()`` method.
|
||||
|
||||
The :meth:`cursor.copy_from()` reads data *from* a file-like object appending
|
||||
them to a database table. The source file must have both ``read()`` and
|
||||
``readline()`` method.
|
||||
:meth:`cursor.copy_from()`
|
||||
Reads data *from* a file-like object appending them to a database table
|
||||
(``COPY table FROM file`` syntax). The source file must have both
|
||||
``read()`` and ``readline()`` method.
|
||||
|
||||
Both methods accept two optional arguments: ``sep`` (defaulting to a tab) is
|
||||
the columns separator and ``null`` (defaulting to ``\N``) represents ``NULL``
|
||||
values in the file.
|
||||
:meth:`cursor.copy_expert()`
|

Allows to handle more specific cases and to use all the |COPY| features
|

available in PostgreSQL.
