Please see the start of the thread at https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/a8de371e-006f-4f92-ab72-2bbe3ee78f03%40manitou-mail.org where what is proposed is compared to what \copy and COPY already provide. About the CSV acronym itself, the COPY documentation https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-copy.html already refers to it as "Comma Separated Values", even though as we know, the delimiter is user-configurable. There's no difference in psql that would justify a different wording. Best regards, -- Daniel Vérité PostgreSQL-powered mailer: http://www.manitou-mail.org Twitter: @DanielVerite
