I have few questions about this one:

1 - Is it using a JDBC postgres COPY interface? If so, is it in an official
JDBC driver release or is it a patch to JDBC that implements access to COPY
(I seen one around in the last year or two).

2 - which options/enhancements does PGBulkWriter supply on top of the JDBC
driver?

I guess I could wait for the documentation, but I am very curious :-)

If this is a JDBC release feature, or something that you wrote that works
well we could integrate it in the java data loader potentially and remove
its jni/libpq layer. Any thoughts about it?

Regards,
Alon.
