Hi,

Is there any way to prevent a trigger from firing during a COPY operation?

We have a case where we dump the records from a table, truncate it, and 
copy the records back in. However, there is a trigger on that table, 
which will insert a record in a logging table. Is there a way to prevent 
this trigger from firing during the COPY FROM process?

Just a little more background, I tried to make the function a little 
more intelligent with OLD and NEW, but in the case of an INSERT, there 
is no OLD, so there is no comparison.

Regards
