Should be. Its at least possible using DBI and DBD::Pg (perl)


my $copy_sth = $dbh -> prepare( "COPY
general.datamining_mailing_lists (query_id,email_key) FROM STDIN;") ;
 $copy_sth -> execute();
 while (my ($email_key ) = $fetch_sth -> fetchrow_array ()) {
         $dbh -> func("$query_id\t$email_key\n", 'putline');
 }
 $fetch_sth -> finish();
 $dbh -> func("\\.\n", 'putline');
 $dbh -> func('endcopy');
 $copy_sth->finish();

Some JDBC expert would tell better how its done with JDBC.

COPY is quite faast.
