Using COPY ... FROM STDIN via the Perl DBI (DBD::Pg) interface, I accidentally strung together several \n-terminated input lines, and sent them to the server with a single "putline".
To my (happy) surprise, I ended up with exactly that number of rows in the target table.
Is this a bug? Is this fundamental to the protocol?
Since it hasn't been documented (but then, "endcopy" isn't documented),
I've been shy of investing in perf testing such mass copy calls.
But, if it DOES work, it should be reducing the number of network roundtrips.
I think it's documented in the libpq docs...
