Back to this thread - I realize that in the "COPY TO" documentation, it states the CSV file used for loading must be on the server's disk. If I can't put files on the server's disk, I'm curious if I can use the STDIN option from my JDBC client to load the data to the server? Using psql I can stream data after the call. Is there anyway to accomplish the same thing with JDBC? Thanks!

I know that I can bulk load from a file using COPY. Is it possible to use a stream instead of a file? If so, and I limited to stdin? I'm attempting to stream data from a remote database into my Postgres instance. I don't want to insert each tuple individually using jdbc since that would be horribly slow...
