I'm looking for a way to create a postgres table from a pandas dataframe, and then read the postgre table directly in pgAdmin.
I've found a way to do that thanks to this link : How to write DataFrame to postgres table? .



The command is :



from sqlalchemy import create_engine
engine = create_engine('postgresql://username:password@host:port/database')
df.to_sql('table_name', engine)


However, I don't know what is 'table_name'. Do I have to create a table in my Data Base?



Thanks for your help!

          A table with the name you specify will be created if it does not already exist. https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/generated/pandas.DataFrame.to_sql.html

          • Ok, the thing is that I have an error : NameError: name 'bat_prediction_rf' is not defined . The last lign of my code is baonotnull_test.to_sql(bat_prediction_rf, engine) . Maybe it's because of the schema. I explain ; I would like to create a table names 'bat_prediction_rf' in the schema p_baobat itself in the database db. I don't understand why I have this error...

          • @Pollux should that be baonotnull_test.to_sql('bat_prediction_rf', engine) (note here 'bat_prediction_rf' is a string) or is bat_prediction_rf a variable defined somewhere else in your code?
