Works for me: regression=# create user joe; CREATE ROLE regression=# \c - joe You are now connected to database "regression" as user "joe". regression=> create table jt (t1 text); CREATE TABLE regression=> copy jt From Program 'echo "Buffa Testata"' CSV; ERROR: permission denied to COPY to or from an external program DETAIL: Only roles with privileges of the "pg_execute_server_program" role may COPY to or from an external program. HINT: Anyone can COPY to stdout or from stdin. psql's \copy command also works for anyone. regression=> \c - postgres You are now connected to database "regression" as user "postgres". regression=# GRANT pg_execute_server_program TO joe; GRANT ROLE regression=# \c - joe You are now connected to database "regression" as user "joe". regression=> copy jt From Program 'echo "Buffa Testata"' CSV; COPY 1 What PG version are you working with? regards, tom lane
