Batch SQL Query runner for Postgres
Having new developers setup their databases is a common thing for me to handle and this has a lot of friction due to the existing tools that devs use, some have TablePlus, some have postico and then there's other web based solutions as well.
Most of these export the data in an alphabetical order or in a foreign key dependency order. The 2nd one normally works fine with having to just run the errored out queries once more. The issue is that not all these tools offer a way to skip errors on queries and just run the next query. Which, is necessary when you are dealing with alphabetical(table name) order based data exports.
Gator simplifies my work by separating each query into it's own execution context and running each query about 10 times (if it fails). This makes sure that all dependent queries are run and if there's still errors, you'll see them in the terminal.
NOTE: Gator, is a personal project which wasn't build for the public but the source code is here cause there's nothing to "close source"
Like everything else that I've written in go, the releases page has binaries for common Unix systems.
For other *nix systems, I'd recommend building from source since the library depends on pg_query_go and cross compiling for each operating system isn't feasible right now. You are free to Raise PR's for adding build scripts for your particular system.
Usage of gator:
-db string
database name to run the file against (default "postgres")
-file string
sql file to run
-host string
host address (default "localhost")
-password string
password for authentication
-port int
port to connect (default 5432)
-sync-sequences
Sync Sequences (added in v0.2.0)
-user string
user for authentication (default "postgres")
