This is a command line tool that takes a csv file and load content into database.

Chunk database insertion is supported to handle large file.

Few assumptions:

• If an email is invalid, error prints out and the line is not inserted.
• Name, surname and email are not empty and can't be 0. Otherwise, line won't be inserted.
• If it's a csv file, the first line is always the header.

Usage

Setup

This setup uses docker and php so make sure they are installed on your local system.

Run the following commands to setup development environment.

1. make install : Pulls docker images for database and php composer. Builds composer packages.
2. make start-db : start database docker container on 127.0.0.1, port 3306.

• this starts a mysql database with default user, password and database set to catalyst.

Run the program

• create table
  • php user_upload.php --create_table -u catalyst -p catalyst -h 127.0.0.1
• dry run
  • php user_upload.php --dry_run --file users.csv -u catalyst -p catalyst -h 127.0.0.1
• load users.csv file to database table.
  • `php user_upload.php --file users.csv -u catalyst -p catalyst -h 127.0.0.1

Clean up

• make clean: remove docker container and network
