+pgloader imports data from a flat file and inserts it into one or
+more PostgreSQL database tables. It uses a flat file per database
+table, and you can configure as many Sections as you want, each one
+associating a table name and a data file.
+
+Data are parsed and rewritten, then given to PostgreSQL COPY command.
+Parsing is necessary for dealing with end of lines and eventual trailing
+separator characters, and for column reordering: your flat data file may
+not have the same column order as the database table has.
+
+pgloader is also able to load some large objects data into PostgreSQL,
+as of now only Informix UNLOAD data files are supported. This command
+gives large objects data location information into the main data file.
+pgloader parse it add the text or bytea content properly escaped to the
+COPY data.
+
+pgloader issues some timing statistics every "commit_every" commits. At 
+the end of processing each section, a summary of overall operations, 
+numbers of rows copied and commits, time it took in seconds, errors 
+logged and database errors is issued.
