There are separate calls to actually feed the data to the backend through
stdin.  Unfortunately, these calls are in libpq, and libpq++ does not
expose them so you can't access them without going "underneath" and
coding to the C API.

#include <stdplug>

...

May I suggest checking out libpqxx, an alternative to libpq++ that does
expose 'copy from stdin'?  It's at

The stuff you're looking for is in the TableWriter class.
