This is a limitation of the server. It doesn't accept parameterized COPY
statements so the JDBC driver doesn't have a way to pass such a statement.
Perhaps the driver could perform the text interpolation itself as it does
in the V2 protocol, but that would also complicate the API if you wanted
to have something similar to PreparedStatement.
