I'm a bit startled that COPY to a view works at all ;-). But it does
look like copy honors triggers, so in principle the above ought to work.

I'll need to see the complete details of the trigger and all the
referenced table declarations --- probably don't need the data, though,
unless the trigger needs to have nonempty tables to start with.
