Re: pgsql and streams

OK - Now I see the COPY patch, adding the CopyManager class to the jdbc
driver. This is exactly the functionality I'm looking for. Has anyone
gotten this to work with the latest codebase? Is there a new patch
available?

Thanks for your help,

Chris

Not sure about JDBC but you can in fact stream your data to COPY via
STDIN - which is the network socket of your database connection.

I'm using this with python for example.
