 well, actually, not exactly; based on:

 http://postgresql.com.cn/docs/8.3/static/sql-copy.html
~
 COPY <table_name> [FROM|TO] <data_feed> <OPTIONS>

 import/export the data into/out of PG, so you will be essentially
duplicating the data and having to synch it. This is exactly what I am
trying to avoid, I would like for PG to handle the data right from the
data feed

 Well, no, but I was hoping to get an answer here because I mostly
access PG through jdbc and also because java developer would generally
be more inclined to these types of DB-independent data formats,
reusing, transferring issues
