Обсуждение: Granting COPY FROM access
[post header corrected, sorry] I have an application that uses ODBC to access a PostGreSQL 8.0.3 database. To load in text files (comma separated, with column headers), I use the SQL statement COPY FROM, which requires me to be a superuser. I don't need full superuser access, so I would like to restrict the permissions to only those necessary. The GRANT doc says that INSERT privilege allows COPY FROM, so as a superuser I did something like "GRANT INSERT ON my_database TO regular_user". Unfortunately, when I login to my_database as regular_user, I don't have permission to do COPY FROM. So, my question is: can COPY FROM permission be granted to a non-superuser, or is there something else that I missed? -Jim Cser

What error message do you get when you try? pg_dump does it like this: COPY table (field1, field2) FROM stdin; 1 1 2 2 \. maybe you can use that method instead of from a file?
