The COPY ....  TO  filename doesnt seem to work.
Copying a table works OK. If Copy from a view isnt allowed how can I get
the results of a query into an external file?

Example:

=> \d top_hits
View    = top_hits
Query   = SELECT "company"."name", "co_hits"."hits" FROM "company",
"co_hits" WHERE ("co_hits"."number" = "company"."number");


=>copy top_hits to STDOUT;
Copy command returns...

Thanks

Steve
