Hi Tino - thanks for your response.
Do you think that's the best way to go - just use Java to launch an

accomplish this with Java?
Thanks,
Chris

Not sure about JDBC but you can in fact stream your data to COPY via
STDIN - which is the network socket of your database connection.
I'm using this with python for example.
