Thanks!
Attached patch fixes the doc, but I'm wondering perhaps it might be
better to modify the codes to prohibit abbreviation of the value.
When seeing the query which abbreviates ON_ERROR value, I feel it's not
obvious what happens compared to other options which tolerates
abbreviation of the value such as FREEZE or HEADER.
COPY t1 FROM stdin WITH (ON_ERROR);
What do you think?
