Loader Program Reference

This is a reference of the command-line loader programs. These programs can be run from a Windows console session (cmd) or a command-line utility such as Cygwin. They all require certain connection information such as the Greenplum master host name, port, database name, and role name. These can be configured using environment variables. For more information, see Configuring Greenplum Loader.

The following loader programs are provided:

• gpload.py (loader program)
• gpfdist.exe (parallel file distribution program used by gpload.py)
