Example: Importing and Exporting Data Through Local Files

When Java is used for secondary development based on GaussDB, you can use the CopyManager API to export data from the database to a local file or import a local file to the database by streaming. The file can be in CSV or TEXT format.

The example is as follows. Load the GaussDB JDBC driver before executing it. For details about how to obtain and load the driver, see JDBC Package, Driver Class, and Environment Class.

// There will be security risks if the username and password used for authentication are directly written into code. It is recommended that the username and password be stored in the configuration file or environment variables (the password must be stored in ciphertext and decrypted when being used) to ensure security.
// In this example, the username and password are stored in environment variables. Before running this example, set environment variables EXAMPLE_USERNAME_ENV and EXAMPLE_PASSWORD_ENV in the local environment (set the environment variable names based on the actual situation).
