Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are plans to upgrade the 
COPY command so it spits back some intelligent results
when it finishes. At the present time if it finds a bad
row or a non-unique key set, it simply quits out with a
statement:

	"resetting connection"

Which is not very informative. Let me know if this part of
the code needs working on. If nobody else is adding this,
I would be happy to dive in.

I could imagine this spitting out a message about a certain
line not passing muster, or even the total number of rows
in the file input/output being listed (as is now returned
with the INSERT/DELETE/UPDATE/SELECT commands).


Cheers,

Paul
