You can't use bound parameters for identifiers like table names, bound parameters are only for literal values which doesn't really apply to COPY. COPY is a special administration statement you should pass in as a complete statement.

The problem I'm facing is that sqlalchemy is including quotes for the table name during binding and postgres raises an exception due to the quotes: conn.execute(text("""COPY :tbl_name from :csv_path (format :file_format, delimiter :delim, quote :quote)"""), tbl_name=tbl_name, file_format=file_format, csv_path=csv_path, delim=delim, quote=quote) Postgres raises with an exception on tbl_name. If, for instance, tbl_name = 'my_table' , sqlalchemy is binding it to: "COPY 'my_table' ....' when instead it must be "COPY my_table ...." What's the recipe to handle this literal value?
