What we need is: 1. Make errors not abort the transaction. 2. Error codes Then you can make your client deal with this in which ever way you want, at least for single-value inserts. However, it seems to me that COPY ignoring duplicates can easily be done by preprocessing the input file. -- Peter Eisentraut [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://funkturm.homeip.net/~peter ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
