To answer your question. I have a order system on my local Postgres (for multiple clients 50+), and need to have an offsite independent database to drive orders for a website (for one client).
None of the replication solutions I have seen (at a resonable price) allow me to limit the data being replicated by a specific field (which I must do from a liability standpoint), so I'm rolling my own replication using php as the scripting language. I've got the data being transferred using inserts just fine, but I would suspect a 50-300% improvement in transfer speed if I could resort to COPY instead (I'm inserting records in transactions of 500 rows each for testing). One of the tables that I need to replicate is a Multi-Gig table (which is about the same size as all the others combined).

Why in the world would you want to do this? It seems that there should be a better way.

Does anyone know how to execute a COPY from PHP? I keep getting parse errors on all the data.

example:
CREATE table tmp(data text);
COPY tmp FROM STDIN; test1 test2 test3 \.
