Sure, you can use copy (select 1) to stdout with (format "json"); and then you get ERROR: COPY format "json" not recognized is that what you meant? If you want the server to send this message when the JSON word is not in quotes, I'm afraid that's not possible, due to the funny nature of the FORMAT keyword when the JSON keyword appears after it. But why do you care? If you use the patch, then you no longer need to have the "not recognized" error messages anymore, because the JSON format is indeed a recognized one. Maybe I didn't understand your question. -- Álvaro Herrera 48°01'N 7°57'E — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/
