Looks like fun.
 
Tom added some comments on the PQgetCopyData function.
 
If your environment allows, put a breapoint in on the line below  and look at the vars
 
while (nLen = PQgetCopyData(pConn, buffer, false) > 0)
 
perhaps this will get you working
while (nLen = PQgetCopyData(pConn, &buffer, false) > 0)
 
 
here's the only sample I found
 
 while (!copydone)
  {
! ret = PQgetCopyData(g_conn, &copybuf, false);
! switch (ret) {
! case -1:
! copydone = true;
! break;
! case 0:
! case -2:
! write_msg(NULL, "SQL command to dump the contents of table \"%s\" failed: PQgetCopyData() failed.\n", classname);
! write_msg(NULL, "Error message from server: %s", PQerrorMessage(g_conn));
! write_msg(NULL, "The command was: %s\n", q->data);
! exit_nicely();
! break;
! default:
! archputs(copybuf, fout);
! PQfreemem(copybuf);
! break;
  }

I’m sorry, I wasn’t clear. It bombs on the PQgetCopyData call. If I comment out the entire while loop, the program runs fine. If I simply comment out the contents of the while loop…kablooey!
