Sorry, but there isn't one. An unqualified COPY expects all columns
and the syntax I gave you is the only way to limit the columns for
insertion.
You could write your own server-side function to parse, split, and
insert the data, but it would be slower than COPY. Likely, the
easiest thing would be to change your company's software.
