I find it a bit of a pain (or at least requiring an extra step or two) to have the postgres user own the files that I am creating with COPY TO. Here is a simple example where the location '/some/path/to/file/file.csv' is owned by another user and it would be very spiffy if I could run the COPY TO as that user. Any ideas?
