Re: COPY BINARY to STDOUT

Any comments on this?

Yes, I see it too. The COPY data protocol is fundamentally textual,
so there's no way of making this work without rewriting all our frontend
interface libraries. Not worth it. I suggest that the backend should
reject COPY BINARY commands that are either FROM STDIN or TO STDOUT.
Anybody see a better way?
