I'm creating and seeding my database using .osql files loaded through the console (is this the best way?).

I have some large documents and I'm finding that I must do the insert entirely on one line, which can make for very long lines. I've tried numerous ways to split the lines and have searched the documentation for answers to no avail.

Is there a way to do inserts with multiple lines in an osql file loaded through the console?

I'm doing inserts like this:

insert into User set name = "Joe", emailAddress = "j...@schmoe.com"

Thanks!

Chas.

Hi Charles,

if you have already created the database with classes and want to do only the insertion through the file .osql, then you must create the file myscritp.osql in the bin folder of OrientDB like this:


connect remote:localhost/testScript admin admin;

insert into User(name, emailAddress) values ("Joe","j...@schmoe.com);
insert into User(name, emailAddress) values ("Bob","b...@schmoe.com);
insert into User(name, emailAddress) values ("Mike","m...@schmoe.com);
...


Then, after you create this file, access to the bin folder from the command line and run the following command:


console.bat myscript.osql
 

and this automatically performs the insertion of data.

Regards,
Giulia

Hi Guilia,

I am already doing this. The question I had was about spreading individual inserts across more than one line. In other words this:


insert into User(name, emailAddress)
  values ("Joe", "j...@schmoe.com");

As opposed to this:


insert into User(name, emailAddress) values ("Joe", "j...@schmoe.com");

When I include a line break it does not work. Some of the inserts are quite long and it would be nice to be able to break them up across lines.

Incidentally, I have no semicolons in my osql file and it seems to work fine, but maybe that's the problem?

Thanks!

Chas.

Hi Charles,

Which OrientDB version are you using? It should work fine in 2.1

Yes, 2.1. I'll try again. Maybe I just did something dumb.

Thanks!
