Would it be difficult to allow COPY to output intermediate status while
it's in operation? IE: total rows copied so far, and maybe what position
in the file it's in on a copy from? This would let you know it was still
working as well as giving you some idea how much longer it will take. It
would also be handy to get a summary report after the copy was done...
rows inserted or exported, how long it took, rows/second.
BTW, is there a more official means of submitting feature requests? I
don't see anything like a Bugzilla for PGSQL...
