Hi Andreas,

I tried the command as below. It failed. Please correct me.

\copy (select * from view1) to '/sample.csv' delimiters ',' csv header;
ERROR: \copy: parse error at "select"

Thanks and Regards,
Siva.

Sure, you can do that (with recent versions) with:

copy (select * from your_view) to ...
