Copy.c has grown really large. Split it into more manageable parts: - copy.c now contains only a few functions that are common to COPY FROM and COPY TO. - copyto.c contains code for COPY TO. - copyfrom.c contains code for initializing COPY FROM, and inserting the tuples to the correct table. - copyfromparse.c contains code for reading from the client/file/program, and parsing the input text/CSV/binary format into tuples. All of these parts are fairly complicated, and fairly independent of each other. There is a patch being discussed to implement parallel COPY FROM, which will add a lot of new code to the COPY FROM path, and another patch which would allow INSERTs to use the same multi-insert machinery as COPY FROM, both of which will require refactoring that code. With those two patches, there's going to be a lot of code churn in copy.c anyway, so now seems like a good time to do this refactoring. The CopyStateData struct is also split. All the formatting options, like FORMAT, QUOTE, ESCAPE, are put in a new CopyFormatOption struct, which is used by both COPY FROM and TO. Other state data are kept in separate CopyFromStateData and CopyToStateData structs.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
