Importing Excel into PostgreSQL — Quick Facts

  • About this database: PostgreSQL uses double-quoted identifiers and BYTEA for binary data.
  • Default port: 5432
  • Identifier quoting: "double quotes"
  • Date / time types: timestamp, timestamptz, date, time
  • Large text type: TEXT
  • Binary type: BYTEA
  • Command-line import: COPY ... FROM

Common Pitfalls When Importing Excel into PostgreSQL

  • COPY stops at the first bad row unless errors are collected into a table.
  • A failed COPY inside a transaction rolls back everything, so wrap each file separately.
