Using COPY via pg_background extension

Hello everyone,

 

I couldn't find anything on this topic in the mailing lists or in the
documentation for the 'pg_background' extension.

Perhaps I overlooked something. 

 

My question is: Is it possible to use the COPY protocol in combination with
pg_background?

 

More specifically, is it possible to load data from a file into a table via
background worker process?   

COPY country FROM '/usr1/proj/bray/sql/country_data';

 

Would the following call or something similar be possible and achieve the
desired result??

 

pg_background_launch_v2('COPY country FROM
'/usr1/proj/bray/sql/country_data');

Kind regards,
