Yeah, I agree, although the syntax looks a bit unclean.
Oh, I had not looked at the syntax closely. I agree, that basically
sucks: it's overcomplicated and under-featured, because you can't
control the actual program command line very conveniently. Nor do I see
a reason to force this into the model of "program filtering a specific
file". What happened to the previous proposal of treating the COPY
target as a pipe specification, ie
COPY table FROM 'some command line |';
COPY table TO '| some command line';
I'd like to be able to filter STDIN if possible - with this syntax how
is COPY going to know to hook up STDIN to the program?
cheers
