Rivulet.Sql.PostgreSql

PostgreSQL-specific optimizations for Rivulet.Sql including COPY command integration for 10-100x faster bulk inserts.

Features

  • COPY Command Integration: Ultra-high performance bulk inserts using COPY
  • Multiple Formats: Binary, CSV, and text formats supported
  • Parallel Operations: Process multiple batches in parallel
  • Streaming Import: Efficient memory usage with streaming
  • Custom Delimiters: Support for CSV with custom delimiters
  • Header Support: Handle CSV files with headers

Installation

dotnet add package Rivulet.Sql.PostgreSql

Usage

Binary COPY (Fastest)

using Npgsql;
using Rivulet.Sql.PostgreSql;

var users = GetUsers(); // IEnumerable<User>

await users.BulkInsertUsingCopyAsync(
    () => new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString),
    "users",
    columns: new[] { "id", "name", "email" },
    mapToRow: user => new object?[] { user.Id, user.Name, user.Email },
    options: new ParallelOptionsRivulet { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4 },
    batchSize: 5000
);

CSV COPY

var csvLines = File.ReadLines("users.csv");

await csvLines.BulkInsertUsingCopyCsvAsync(
    () => new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString),
    "users",
    columns: new[] { "id", "name", "email" },
    options: new ParallelOptionsRivulet { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 2 },
    hasHeader: true,
    delimiter: ','
);

Text COPY (Tab-Delimited)

var textLines = File.ReadLines("users.txt");

await textLines.BulkInsertUsingCopyTextAsync(
    () => new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString),
    "users",
    columns: new[] { "id", "name", "email" },
    options: new ParallelOptionsRivulet { MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4 },
    batchSize: 10000
);

Advanced: Custom Object Mapping

record Product(int Id, string Name, decimal Price, DateTime CreatedAt);

var products = GetProducts();

await products.BulkInsertUsingCopyAsync(
    () => new NpgsqlConnection(connectionString),
    "products",
    columns: new[] { "id", "name", "price", "created_at" },
    mapToRow: product => new object?[]
    {
        product.Id,
        product.Name,
        product.Price,
        product.CreatedAt
    },
    options: new ParallelOptionsRivulet
    {
        MaxDegreeOfParallelism = 4,
        ErrorMode = ErrorMode.CollectAndContinue
    }
);

Performance

Comparison: Standard Insert vs COPY

Method Rows/sec Time for 100k rows
Standard Batched Insert ~1,000 ~100 seconds
COPY Binary ~50,000+ ~2 seconds
Performance Gain 50x faster 50x faster

Format Performance

Format Speed Memory Usage Use Case
Binary Fastest Low Typed data, best performance
CSV Fast Low CSV files, text data
Text Fast Low Tab-delimited data
  • Batch Size: 5,000-10,000 rows per batch
  • Max Parallelism: 2-4 for most workloads
  • Format: Binary for best performance

When to Use

Use Rivulet.Sql.PostgreSql when:

  • Inserting 1,000+ rows
  • Maximum performance is critical
  • Using PostgreSQL exclusively

Use base Rivulet.Sql when:

  • Multi-database support needed
  • Smaller datasets (<1,000 rows)
  • Cross-platform compatibility required

Requirements

  • .NET 8.0 or .NET 9.0
  • PostgreSQL 10 or later
  • Npgsql
