How to Sync to Manually
Begin by exporting your data from Lokalise. Log into your Lokalise account, navigate to the project you wish to export data from, and use the "Export" feature. Choose a format such as CSV or JSON, as these are straightforward to work with and can be easily imported into PostgreSQL.
Before importing data, ensure that your PostgreSQL database is set up and ready to receive data. Create a new database and define a table structure that matches the data format you exported from Lokalise. Use SQL commands like `CREATE DATABASE` and `CREATE TABLE` to set this up.
Ensure you have the necessary PostgreSQL tools installed on your machine to facilitate data import. The `psql` command-line tool is essential for executing SQL commands and importing data files. You can install it via your operating system's package manager if it's not already available.
If necessary, transform your exported Lokalise data to match the structure of your PostgreSQL table. This might involve scripting transformations using a language like Python or simply using text processing tools like sed or awk to adjust the CSV or JSON format to match your PostgreSQL schema.
Use the `COPY` command if your data is in CSV format or `\copy` when using the `psql` tool. This command facilitates direct importing of data from a file into a table. Ensure you specify the correct file path and table name. For example:
```
\COPY your_table_name FROM '/path/to/your/exported_file.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;
```
After loading the data, it is crucial to verify its integrity. Execute SQL queries to check for missing or inconsistent data. Use `SELECT` statements to ensure the data in your PostgreSQL table matches the Lokalise data. This step ensures that the import process was successful and accurate.
If you need to perform this transfer regularly, consider writing a script to automate the steps. Use shell scripts or a language like Python to automate the export, transformation, and import processes. Schedule this script to run at desired intervals using cron jobs (on Unix-based systems) or Task Scheduler (on Windows).
By following these steps, you can effectively transfer data from Lokalise to a PostgreSQL database without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
