The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 17775 Logged by: Felix Sperling Email address: fsperling@salesforce.com PostgreSQL version: 15.1 Operating system: any Description: Hello, I would like to ask for clarification in the documentation regarding the COPY command and what the default value is for the HEADER argument. I'm assuming the default is false as nothing else is mentioned but it would be nice to have that more explicit in the docs. https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/sql-copy.html Thanks, Felix

On output, the first line contains the column names from the table. On input, the first line is discarded when this option is set to true (or equivalent Boolean value). If this option is set to MATCH, the number and names of the columns in the header line must match the actual column names of the table, in order; otherwise an error is raised. This option is not allowed when using binary format. The MATCH option is only valid for COPY FROM commands. If you don't specify it, then you don't get the header line. This is true for other COPY settings like FREEZE. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EDB https://enterprisedb.com Embrace your flaws.
