Based on what I know from this stuff (OOM libpq and other stuff remnants), one 'd' message means one row. fe-protocol3.c and CopySendEndOfRow in backend's copy.c are confirming that as well. I am indeed afraid that having extra logic to get chunks of data will require extending the protocol with a new message type for this purpose. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
