Hello everyone,

 

I couldn't find anything on this topic in the mailing lists or in the documentation for the ‘pg_background’ extension.

 

https://github.com/vibhorkum/pg_background?tab=readme-ov-file#known-limitations

 

Perhaps I overlooked something.

 

My question is: Is it possible to use the COPY protocol in combination with pg_background?


Would "psql run from crontab" serve your purpose just as well?
