Does PLPythonU support COPY table FROM string? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello,

Is there any possibility to make COPY from list of records in PLPythonU?

I've tried to simply call `plpy.execute(query)` with such query:

COPY table (field1, field2, field3) FROM STDIN DELIMITER',';

val1,val2,val3

\.

But it fails with not so explicit error:

ProgrammingError: (psycopg2.ProgrammingError) spiexceptions.SyntaxError: syntax error at or near "val1"

LINE 2: val1,val2,val3

        ^

However the same thing works in psql.

After some googling I found out that it doesn't work inside sql functions because there is no STDIN ( http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/000501c5acc9$83747aa0$0501a8c0@plexus ).

I've got working solution which was saving tmp file and then calling `COPY table FROM 'path'` but that's not cool.

Did I miss something in plpythonu api? If not, where can I post "feature request" for that?

Or can you point me place where I could dig into the code and implement it?
