+1 on the idea. > postgres=# COPY x TO '/root/nopermissions'; > ERROR: could not open file "/root/nopermissions" for writing: Permission > denied > HINT: Paths for COPY are on the PostgreSQL server, not the client. You may > want psql's \copy or a driver COPY ... FROM STDIN wrapper TO STDOUT. Also, I vaguely get what you wanted to say with "a driver ... wrapper", but it's pretty nonsensical if one doesn't know about the protocol details. I don't have a better suggestion now, but I think it needs rephrasing. Christoph
