/insert/records

URL: http://GPUDB_IP_ADDRESS:GPUDB_PORT/insert/records

Adds multiple records to the specified table. The operation is synchronous, meaning that a response will not be returned until all the records are fully inserted and available. The response payload provides the counts of the number of records actually inserted and/or updated, and can provide the unique identifier of each added record.

The input parameter options parameter can be used to customize this function's behavior.

The update_on_existing_pk option specifies the record collision policy for inserting into a table with a primary key, but is ignored if no primary key exists.

The return_record_ids option indicates that the database should return the unique identifiers of inserted records.

Input Parameter Description

Name	Type	Description
table_name	string	Table to which the records are to be added. Must be an existing table.
list	array of bytes	An array of binary-encoded data for the records to be added. All records must be of the same type as that of the table. Empty array if input parameter list_encoding is json.
list_str	array of strings	An array of JSON encoded data for the records to be added. All records must be of the same type as that of the table. Empty array if input parameter list_encoding is binary.
list_encoding	string	The encoding of the records to be inserted. The default value is binary. The supported values are: binary json
options	map of string to strings	Optional parameters. The default value is an empty map ( {} ). Supported Parameters (keys) Parameter Description update_on_existing_pk Specifies the record collision policy for inserting into a table with a primary key. If set to true, any existing table record with primary key values that match those of a record being inserted will be replaced by that new record. If set to false, any existing table record with primary key values that match those of a record being inserted will remain unchanged and the new record discarded. If the specified table does not have a primary key, then this option is ignored. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false return_record_ids If true then return the internal record id along for each inserted record. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false truncate_strings If set to true, any strings which are too long for their target charN string columns will be truncated to fit. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false return_individual_errors If set to true, success will always be returned, and any errors found will be included in the info map. The "bad_record_indices" entry is a comma-separated list of bad records (0-based). And if so, there will also be an "error_N" entry for each record with an error, where N is the index (0-based). The default value is false. The supported values are: true false allow_partial_batch If set to true, all correct records will be inserted and incorrect records will be rejected and reported. Otherwise, the entire batch will be rejected if any records are incorrect. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false dry_run If set to true, no data will be saved and any errors will be returned. The default value is false. The supported values are: true false

Output Parameter Description

The GPUdb server embeds the endpoint response inside a standard response structure which contains status information and the actual response to the query. Here is a description of the various fields of the wrapper:

Name	Type	Description
status	String	'OK' or 'ERROR'
message	String	Empty if success or an error message
data_type	String	'insert_records_request' or 'none' in case of an error
data	String	Empty string
data_str	JSON or String	This embedded JSON represents the result of the /insert/records endpoint: Name Type Description record_ids array of strings An array containing the IDs with which the added records are identified internally. count_inserted int The number of records inserted. count_updated int The number of records updated. info map of string to strings Additional information. Possible Parameters (keys) Parameter Description bad_record_indices If return_individual_errors option is specified or implied, returns a comma-separated list of invalid indices (0-based) error_N Error message for record at index N (0-based) Empty string in case of an error.
