No, because changes made by any given transaction are not visible to
other transactions until that transaction commits, which would be
when the COPY completes if it is the only statement in the
transaction. What you could do is split the file whose data you're
COPYing in into smaller pieces and run separate, sequential COPYs if
you really need something along those lines.
