# postgres-copy

This Gem will enable your AR models to use the PostgreSQL COPY command to import/export data in CSV format.
If you need to tranfer data between a PostgreSQL database and CSV files, the PostgreSQL native CSV parser
will give you a greater performance than using the ruby CSV+INSERT commands.
I have not found time to make accurate benchmarks, but in the use scenario where I have developed the gem
I have had a four-fold performance gain.

## Install

    gem install postgres-copy

## Usage

The gem will add two aditiontal class methods to ActiveRecord::Base as a monkey patch (I'll change this soon):

* pg_copy_to (description yet to be added)
* pg_copy_from (description yet to be added)


## Note on Patches/Pull Requests
 
* Fork the project.
* Make your feature addition or bug fix.
* Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a
  future version unintentionally.
* Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history.
  (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
* Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
