Re: Postgres Analog of Oracle APPEND hint

Since INSERT /*+APPEND*/ is generally used when bulk loading data into
Oracle from external files you should probably look at the PostgreSQL COPY
command (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/sql-copy.html) and additional
utilities like pg_bulkload (https://github.com/ossc-db/pg_bulkload) .
