Text Ferry is a super simple DSL for quickly loading CSV text files into a database.

gem install text_ferry

or in your Gemfile:

gem "text_ferry"

Text Ferry relies on Sequel to do the heavy lifting. You will need to be familiar with how to define a table schema using Sequel. For example, to load a CSV file named “data.csv” that is located in a folder named “/my_data”:

loader = TextFerry::Loader.new("sqlite://sample.db", "/my_data")
loader.load_table(:data) do
  primary_key :id
  String :name
  String :phone
end

This will load data from the CSV file into a database named “sample.db” using the given column names and types. Note that if the table already exists in the database, it will be dropped and re-created using the given schema.

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull).

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
