Substituting the input parameter for the literal path does not work and
neither does using PREPARE/EXECUTE. How can I pass the file path as a

You could write a pl/pgsql function which constructs the query as a
string and then runs it with EXECUTE.

According to the PostgreSQL help file EXECUTE is used to execute a prepared statement. I tried that but when I call PREPARE with COPY as the statement I get an error. Are you saying that I can also use EXECUTE as
EXECUTE AStringVariable;
where AStringVariable contains a valid SQL statement? If so, that is the solution.
