Populating a Class with Instances/Postgres Docs

Hi there,

I hope I'm using the correct address for this. If not, would you please
so kind to redirect me to the correct address, if possible?

The COPY statement in the attached query-ug2887.htm from the PostgreSQL
User's Guide is explain with a typo.
While it is written:

'COPY INTO weather FROM '/home/user/weather.txt'
    USING DELIMITERS '|';'

the correct version must be without the 'INTO':

'COPY weather FROM '/home/user/weather.txt'
    USING DELIMITERS '|';'

It took me half an hour to look for COPY with \h COPY in psql instead of
trusting the web documentation :-(

Greetings from Hannover, Germany and thanks for your work on Postgres!

Georg
