<replaceable class="parameter">viewname</replaceable>) TO ...</literal>.

</para>

+ <para>

+ <command>COPY</command> only deals with the specific table named;

+ it does not copy data to or from child tables. Thus for example

+ <literal>COPY <replaceable class="parameter">table</> TO</literal>

+ shows the same data as <literal>SELECT * FROM ONLY <replaceable

+ class="parameter">table</></literal>. But <literal>COPY

+ (SELECT * FROM <replaceable class="parameter">table</>) TO ...</literal>

+ can be used to dump all of the data in an inheritance hierarchy.
