Is there any way to use copy command for batch data import and read data from a url. For example, copy command has a syntax like :
COPY sample_table
FROM 'C:\tmp\sample_data.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;
What I want is not to give a local path but a url. Is there any way?

First, we import the psycopg2 package and establish a connection to a PostgreSQL database using the pyscopg2. connect() method. before importing a CSV file we need to create a table. In the example below, we created a table by executing the “create table” SQL command using the cursor.
It's pretty straightforward, provided you have an appropriate command-line tool available:
COPY sample_table FROM PROGRAM 'curl "http://www.example.com/file.csv"'
Since you appear to be on Windows, I think you'll need to install curl or wget yourself. There is an example using wget on Windows here which may be useful.
