Rumours only. Feedback from someone else looking to the problem last year. IIRC there was a feeling that if we didn't have to search for delimiters the COPY FROM input parsing could be easier. Vague recollection that the COPY TO uses the slower API for getting heap attributes, but didn't seem to show up when I profiled few months back. I'm not personally proposing to take those thoughts any further. -- Simon Riggs EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
