Re: [HACKERS] psql and COPY

Sorry, I can't reproduce that. I have not been able to keep up with RI, so
I can't seem to get a usable table configuration together. I used a script

COPY three FROM STDIN;
\N
\.

on a table CREATE TABLE three ( a int4 not null ) and it gives me proper
error messages either way.

I am almost tempted to say that this is a bug in COPY, though I sure don't
want to blame anyone before I see it. Could you send me a complete test
case please?
