Ok. I found the libpq syntax for COPY in the Programmer's manual. I've
got a working version, but wanted to verify something.

PQexec(conn, "COPY foo FROM STDIN");
PQputline(conn, "3\thello world\t4.5\n");
PQputline(conn,"4\tgoodbye world\t7.11\n");
...
PQputline(conn,"\\.\n");
PQendcopy(conn);

1. I'm assuming that I can put in as many PQputline statements as I
want to between the PQexec("COPY ... FROM ...") and the terminator
line. Is that correct? No limit?

2. Do any of these lines need to be followed by a PQclear(res)? What
about the first PQexec?
