"COPY can only be used with plain tables, not with views. However, you

Right, so you can COPY FROM a view, but not, as far as I can tell, TO a
view, unless Alban found a workaround.

As to your other question:

"Still curious why the triggers I'm writing won't fire before my
statement errors out on copying to a view, or inserting an out-of-range
timestamp, when the trigger would resolve all the illegal operations if
it just fired first."
