Make allow access to '/home/peter' for user #100
Or better make in your home something like:
$ cd /home/peter
$ mkdir sql
$ chmod 777 sql
and after this make
foodserver=> COPY company TO '/home/peter/sql/copytest.out';
Attn: You can have "superuser" permission for work with files from sql!
Method #2:
$ psql foodserver -c "COPY company TO stdout" -o /home/peter/copytest.out
This method don't need "superuser" permission...
