[postgis-users] How to sql scripts in a file?

[Giuseppe Broccolo]

Hi John,

I guess you are using Psycopg2 as driver to PostgreSQL here (please add
further details about your setup).

Assuming Psycopg2: I guess that is because actions are not committed in
your snippet. You may be interested to
set autocommit for the execution of the script, even better to manage
properly transactions, see the documentation
here: https://www.psycopg.org/docs/usage.html#transactions-control

For instance, I'd use context managers for connectors and cursors
(available from version 2.5):

sqlF = r'{}\{}'.format(sFldr_sql,sSQLFile)
with psycopg2.connect(...) as conn:
    with conn.cursor() as cur:
        curs.execute(open(sqlF,'r').read())

So that if no exception has been raised, the transaction is committed.
In case of exception the transaction
is rolled back. Also the cursor is then properly closed, without
affecting the transaction.

Giuseppe.
