I want to \COPY over COPY command as I am not running as a super/admin user. How to add \COPY command inside a function.

The following statement inside a function throws error.

\COPY xsa.export_table TO 'export.csv' DELIMITERS ',' CSV HEADER

Errors are throwing at “\COPY” and no semi-colon at the end of the line. Please guide me.


\COPY is a psql metacommand, not a proper SQL command, its translated to a SQL COPY command. you can't use \ commands in functions, so you'll need to recode that as a COPY ... TO STDOUT ...; and recieve the stdout stream and write it to your file (which is what the \COPY command is doing).
