Hi,
- http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-copy.html,
- http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-copy.html and
- http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-copy.html
have underscores ("_") where there should be none,
e.g. in "FORCE_QUOTES".
Best regards,

Huh? The references to FORCE_QUOTE look correct to me. The syntax
doesn't support multi-word option names, so it has to be like that
(or else run the words together, which doesn't sound like an
improvement).

FWIW, multi-word option names are pre-9.0 syntax and still supported.
This is documented, albeit you have to scroll to the bottom of the page:

Thanks, Tom, for your quick response.
Maybe this is just a miscommunication, sorry for that then (i.e. I
misunderstood the documentation here).
(Stupid) example for the problem:
"COPY (SELECT aggfnoid, aggtransfn from pg_aggregate) TO STDOUT WITH
FORCE QUOTE * DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;"
will run, a FORCE_QUOTE or FORCEQUOTE won't
(e.g. on a "PostgreSQL 9.2.3 on i386-portbld-freebsd9.1, compiled by
cc (GCC) 4.2.1 20070831 patched [FreeBSD]").
Best regards,
Mario

As Ian notes, that's the old syntax with a hard-wired option set.
The lack of parentheses after WITH is the difference.
