I find it a bit of a pain (or at least requiring an extra step or two) to have the postgres user own the files that I am creating with COPY TO. Here is a simple example where the location '/some/path/to/file/file.csv' is owned by another user and it would be very spiffy if I could run the COPY TO as that user. Any ideas? sudo chown anotheruser:postgres /some/path/to/file/file.csv sudo chmod 664 /some/path/to/file/file.csv This will set the file's group to postgres and allow it's members to write to the file. > > > > COPY ( > SELECT * FROM > some_table > WHERE > 2012 = EXTRACT (YEAR FROM some_column) --AND value IS NOT NULL > ) > TO '/some/path/to/file/file.csv' WITH CSV HEADER; > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general -- Kind regards, Sergey Konoplev Database and Software Consultant Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp Phone: USA +1 (415) 867-9984, Russia +7 (901) 903-0499, +7 (988) 888-1979 Skype: gray-hemp Jabber: gray.ru@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
