Load multiple files into a table

Hi,

I need to load data from two files to a single table.
My requirement is that I get two files in which a few column data are manadatory.
These files are identified based on the file name.
For example, I have two files ABCFile and BCDFile. ABCFile has mandatory data in column 3 and 4 whereas, BCDFile has mandatory data in 5th column.
So I have to validate whether these columns are null before inserting.
I know I can do it by creating 2 control files but is there any way to do it using one control file?

NAME
shp2pgsql - shapefile to postgis loader SYNTAX
shp2pgsql [options] shapefile [schema.]table DESCRIPTION
The shp2pgsql data loader converts ESRI Shape files into SQL suitable for insertion into a PostGIS/PostgreSQL database. Version: 1.1.5 (2006/10/06) USAGE
The <shapefile> is the name of the shape file, without any extension information. For example, 'roads' would be the name of the shapefile comprising the 'roads.shp', 'roads.shx', and 'roads.dbf' files. The <tablename> is the (optionally schema-qualified) name of the database table you want the data stored in in the database. Within that table, the geometry will be placed in the 'geo_value' column by default. OPTIONS
The loader has several operating modes distinguished by command line flags: (Note that -a, -c, -d and -p are mutually exclusive.) -d Drops the database table before creating a new table with the data in the Shape file. -a Appends data from the Shape file into the database table. Note that to use this option to load multiple files, the files must have the same attributes and same data types. -c Creates a new table and populates it from the Shape file. This is the default mode. -p Only produces the table creation SQL code, without adding any actual data. This can be used if you need to completely separate the table creation and data loading steps. -D Use the PostgreSQL "dump" format for the output data. This can be combined with -a, -c and -d. It is much faster to load than the default "insert" SQL format. Use this for very large data sets. -s <SRID> Creates and populates the geometry tables with the specified SRID. -g <geometry_column> Specify the name of the geometry column (mostly useful in append mode). -k Keep idendifiers case (column, schema and attributes). Note that attributes in Shapefile are usually all UPPERCASE. -i Coerce all integers to standard 32-bit integers, do not create 64-bit bigints, even if the DBF header signature appears to warrant it. -S Generate simple Geometries instead of MULTIgeometries. Shape files don't differ between LINESTRINGs and MULTILINESTRINGs, so shp2pgsql generates MULTILINESTRINGs by default. This switch will produce LINESTRINGs instead, but shp2pgsql will fail when it hits a real MULTILINESTRING. The same works for POLYGONs vs. MULTIPOLYGONs. -w Output WKT format, for use with older (0.x) versions of PostGIS. Note that this will introduce coordinate drifts and will drop M values from shapefiles. -W <encoding> Specify the character encoding of Shapefile's attributes. If this option is used the output will be encoded in UTF-8. -I Create a GiST index on the geometry column. -N <policy> Specify NULL geometries handling policy (insert,skip,abort). -? Display version and usage information. INSTALLATION
To compile the program from source, simply run "make" in the source directory. Then copy the binary in your shell search path (or wherever you like). This text is also available as a man page in the ../doc/man/ directory, ready for copying it into the manual search path on unixoid systems. EXAMPLES
An example session using the loader to create an input file and uploading it might look like this: # shp2pgsql shaperoads roadstable roadsdb > roads.sql # psql -d roadsdb -f roads.sql A conversion and upload can be done all in one step using UNIX pipes: # shp2pgsql shaperoads roadstable roadsdb | psql -d roadsdb AUTHORS
