I am launching it from postgres plpythonu function (postgres version: PostgreSQL 9.4.4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (Debian 4.9.2-10) 4.9.2, 64-bit).
The error can be reproduced using the SQL below:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS test; CREATE TABLE test(field1 integer, field2 integer);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION example() RETURNS VOID AS $$
plpy.execute("COPY test (field1, field2) FROM STDIN DELIMITER',';\n1,2\n\\.")
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpythonu';
select example();
Maybe there is a way to get into the underlying psycopg2 driver and call some method that would do COPY FROM, but I can't find anything related to it in the docs.
Is there any possibility to make COPY from list of records in PLPythonU?
I've tried to simply call `plpy.execute(query)` with such query:
COPY table (field1, field2, field3) FROM STDIN DELIMITER','; val1,val2,val3 \.
But it fails with not so explicit error: ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) spiexceptions.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "val1" LINE 2: val1,val2,val3 ^
The above is a psycopg2 error, so where are you running this and how?
I've got working solution which was saving tmp file and then calling `COPY table FROM 'path'` but that's not cool.
Did I miss something in plpythonu api? If not, where can I post "feature request" for that? Or can you point me place where I could dig into the code and implement it?
