COPY rehashed

From

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.

Is there a posting detailing the agreed upon API? I would like this so
much, I would be willing to work on it.

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.
