Yeah. The *real* problem with the patch as proposed is that it allows a COPY OUT to emit a file that cannot be reloaded correctly, even given the same options used to prepare it. I think that the restrictions were put there more to prevent that scenario than to restrict COPY IN. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
