I don't really think the HINT is appropriate for the not-absolute-path case. 2. I don't think it's appropriate for all possible cases of AllocateFile failure either, eg surely not for EACCES or similar situations where we did find a file. Maybe print it only for ENOENT? (See for example report_newlocale_failure() for technique.) 3. As for the wording, maybe you could do it like this: HINT: COPY copies to[from] a file on the PostgreSQL server, not on the client. You may want a client-side facility such as psql's \copy. That avoids trying to invent a name for other implementations. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
