Re: pgsql and streams

Hi Tino - thanks for your response.

Do you think that's the best way to go - just use Java to launch an
external load command to psql.exe? Does anyone else know of a way to
accomplish this with Java?

Thanks,
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.
