bexhoma/loader_tpcds_postgresql repository overview

⁠Loader for TPC-DS data into PostgreSQL

Loads pre-generated TPC-DS .dat files into PostgreSQL using psql \COPY. The child index is read from /tmp/tpcds/BEXHOMA_CHILD (written by the generator pod running in the same Kubernetes pod). Does not have multi-tenancy support.
