call multiple Sql files in a single SQL file in Postgres

Question

How do call multiple sql files in a single sql file, in postgres

For example I have aaa.sql, bbb.sql, ccc.sql.

I want to execute this 3 files from xxx.sql.

Can anyone suggest me how to do this.

Answer 1

If you are running these files through psql you want the \i directive ("execute commands from file").

xxx.sql:

\i aaa.sql
\i bbb.sql
\i ccc.sql

If you are passing these through some other program you will need to combine the files yourself - I do not believe there is any SQL-standard way of executing external files.
