Thread: COPY rehashed
Dear List, I would like to be able to use COPY operations from JDBC. I searched the archives and the last time it came up was August 2005. Everyone seems to be in agreement that it would come in handy, patches are available, but the indecision seems to be how to expose the COPY API. Is this correct? I don't wish to fan the flames, but I would really like to use the standard driver . Is there a chance that COPY support will be released in the driver soon? Sincerely, M

Originally yes, but at this point I think we've resigned ourselves to putting out whatever we can rather than working on the more complicated API. The problem is really a matter of time and interest. All of the maintainers are very busy and can barely keep up with existing bug reports and list traffic. Kris Jurka
Is there a posting detailing the agreed upon API? I would like this so much, I would be willing to work on it. -M On Tue, May 16, 2006 2:43 pm, Kris Jurka wrote: > > > On Tue, 16 May 2006, A.M. wrote: > > >> I would like to be able to use COPY operations from JDBC.

The real issue is to make sure there is only one Implementation of the protocol. Currently the patch duplicates the protocol in it's own handler. If you could fold the COPY protocol into the QueryExecutor that would be a good start. Then we can argue about the API.
