Examining why psql won't do sensible stuff with COPY BINARY, I realized
that psql still uses PQgetline, which is marked obsolete since 7.4.
Is this intentional or just a "never reviewed because it works"?
There wasn't any obvious bang for the buck in rewriting it.
Well a non-binary copy could take as much as 5 times as much as a binary
copy. I hit this when COPYing 1.5GB of data, getting a 6.6GB file. This
made the 100MBit LAN connection a bottleneck.
I might post a patch to support BINARY in psql some day.
