Hi,
I tried to use the COPY function in v7.3.4 but I have a problem.
According to the documentation, anyboy having the good rights on the
table he want to copy could do it without any problem.
When I tried it, I found that using this command is impossible if you
aren't an administrator for the instance of PostgreSQL.
Is it a bug or a *feature*?
The commands I tried are the followings:
COPY table FROM '/file.sql';
and
COPY table TO '/file.sql';
Thanks for responding.

COPY is done with the rights of the server backend, not your client.
You can also use \copy in psql and that is done in the client.
