Seems much too noisy for me. That would be appropriate behavior in a GUI, but psql is not and never will be a GUI. Martijn's concern about hacking the behavior depending on where stderr points demonstrates exactly why we don't want to do this. I would not object to adding a line count to the COPY command completion report (on the server side), though. That's arguably comparable to the number-of-rows-processed values for INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
