in wich sense, I should give a file or a pipe in the copy command, how can I
insert the string of the file, manipulating it by hand and executing an
insert sql?

to do a COPY directly to or from a file. Anyone can COPY to stdout or

from

stdin. Psql's \copy command also works for anyone.

I can't use \copy from php because there is no \copy interface in php,

only

pg_exec(sql command), so the only way is to use stdin!
Someone has ideas about how to pipe the file and than read the pipe from

the

Show quoted text

copy sql command?

Just read the file in row at a time and insert them in a loop?
The opposite to copy it out. I think you'll have to do it this way.
