@lungben I like CopyIn. It is powerful and elegant solution. Is it possible to get progress of uploading data with function CopyIn ? I’m trying to get information how much percentage is uploaded. How can I handle percentage status of uploading? Thank you

The whole upload is done with a single execute statement in TableIO:

```julia
iter = CSV.RowWriter(table)
column_names = first(iter)
copyin = LibPQ.CopyIn("COPY $tablename ($column_names) FROM STDIN (FORMAT CSV, HEADER);", iter)
execute(conn, copyin)

```

It may be possible to hook into LibPQ.jl ([https://github.com/invenia/LibPQ.jl/blob/master/src/copy.jl](https://github.com/invenia/LibPQ.jl/blob/master/src/copy.jl)) for showing the progress.  
Alternatively, you could divide your input data in smaller chunks and upload them sequentially, tracking progress in between. But this may have performance drawbacks.
