Bulk uploading: COPY ... FROM STDIN WITH CSV
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Bulk updates are significantly faster using COPY instead of single sql queries.
Describe the solution you'd like
const { stream } = pg.query(` COPY my_table (col1, col2, etc) FROM STDIN WITH CSV`, { stream: true })
createReadStream('./data.csv').on('data', $=>stream.write($)).on('close', ()=>stream.close())
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Using
psqlfrom shell or another library/language - Not using COPY. Use order of magnitude slower queries instead.

Hi Brian, thank you for your feedback. COPY operation is not implemented yet. I am marking this issue as a feature request.
