hi.

I realized I need to change the doc/src/sgml/ref/copy.sgml
<title>Notes</title> section.

current doc note section:
COPY TO can be used only with plain tables, not views, and does not
copy rows from child tables or child partitions.
For example, COPY table TO copies the same rows as SELECT * FROM ONLY table.
The syntax COPY (SELECT * FROM table) TO ... can be used to dump all
of the rows in an inheritance hierarchy, partitioned table, or view.

after my change:
------------
COPY TO can be used only with plain tables, not views, and does not
copy rows from child tables,
however COPY TO can be used with partitioned tables.
For example, in a table inheritance hierarchy, COPY table TO copies
the same rows as SELECT * FROM ONLY table.
The syntax COPY (SELECT * FROM table) TO ... can be used to dump all
of the rows in an inheritance hierarchy, or view.
