I don't think you can do this reliable (atomic transaction) with
"copy table_name".

You can if you wrap it in a transaction:

I want to **move** the data. The data should get deleted on the
satellite after transfer.

Well the replication suggestion is out.


I don't know how to delete the data which was copied, since inserts can
happen during the copy statement.

However you end up doing this I think you will probably need some sort of flag 
on the rows on the satellites. It could
be a timestamp field of when the rows where inserted on the satellite or a 
boolean field(copied). First instinct is to
use an insert timestamp and a tracking table that stores the last timestamp 
used to move rows, where the timestamp is
only written on a successful transfer. To improve the chances of successful 
transfer more smaller transfer batches
rather then larger transfers.


I really need a solid solution.

You said "... improve the chances of successful transfer ...". This makes me 
nervous.

Delays are no problems, but data loss or duplication is.
