hi.

new patch attached, rebase only.

Subject: [PATCH v20 1/3] introduce CopyFormat refactor CopyFormatOptions

Currently, COPY command format is determined by two booleans, binary and
csv_mode, within CopyFormatOptions. This approach, while functional, isn't ideal
for future expansion.

To simplify adding new formats, we've introduced an enum CopyFormat.  This makes
the code cleaner and more maintainable, allowing for easier integration of
additional formats down the line.

The CopyFormat enum was originally contributed by Joel Jacobson
[email protected], later refactored by Jian He to address various issues.

Subject: [PATCH v20 3/3] Add option force_array for COPY JSON FORMAT

force_array option can only be used in COPY TO with JSON format.  it make the
output json output behave like json array type.  refactored by Junwang Zhao to
adapt the newly introduced CopyToRoutine struct(2e4127b6d2).

From 089630f0f4706b31c4c886d033e15ad20761dd6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: jian he <[email protected]>

Subject: [PATCH v20 2/3] json format for COPY TO

JSON format is only supported with the COPY TO operation. It is incompatible
with options such as HEADER, DEFAULT, NULL, DELIMITER, and several others. This
has been thoroughly tested in src/test/regress/sql/copy.sql

The CopyFormat enum was originally contributed by Joel Jacobson
[email protected], later refactored by Jian He to address various issues, and
further adapted by Junwang Zhao to support the newly introduced CopyToRoutine
struct (commit 2e4127b6d2).
