COPY FROM STDIN not in local file

Josh Close

Is there a way to do COPY FROM STDIN from sql? So, remotely I could
run the copy command and somehow push the info over instead of having
it on the server.

You have to use psql's \copy.

For those who are curious, I found a php implementation of this. It
uses the postgre put_line function.

<?php
$conn = pg_pconnect("db name=foo");
pg_query($conn, "create table bar (a int4, b char(16), d float8)");
pg_query($conn, "copy bar from stdin");
pg_put_line($co nn, "3\thello world\t4.5\n");
pg_put_line($co nn, "4\tgoodbye world\t7.11\n") ;
pg_put_line($co nn, "\\.\n");
pg_end_copy($co nn);
?>

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
