Token-driven hand-parser for COPY. JSqlParser 5.x doesn't
recognise COPY at all — UnsupportedStatement — so the wire-protocol
layer needs structured access before it can drive the COPY-IN
sub-protocol.
Also exposes row->entity-map: shared helper used by the COPY-IN
exec handler (server.clj) to turn a vector of decoded
String|::null values into a Datahike entity map keyed by
:<ns>/<col> attributes, with per-column string→type coercion
driven by :db/valueType.
Mirrors the structure of datahike.pg.sql.database: tokenise,
parse the prefix (table + optional column list + FROM/TO target),
then parse the option list in either:
WITH (key [=] value [, ...])[WITH] kw1 kw2 ... (e.g.
WITH BINARY, WITH CSV HEADER, DELIMITER '|' NULL '\N' CSV)

Token-driven hand-parser for `COPY`. JSqlParser 5.x doesn't
recognise COPY at all — UnsupportedStatement — so the wire-protocol
layer needs structured access before it can drive the COPY-IN
sub-protocol.
Also exposes `row->entity-map`: shared helper used by the COPY-IN
exec handler (server.clj) to turn a vector of decoded
String|::null values into a Datahike entity map keyed by
`:<ns>/<col>` attributes, with per-column string→type coercion
driven by `:db/valueType`.
Mirrors the structure of `datahike.pg.sql.database`: tokenise,
parse the prefix (table + optional column list + FROM/TO target),
then parse the option list in either:
- **Modern paren form** — `WITH (key [=] value [, ...])`
- **Legacy keyword form** — `[WITH] kw1 kw2 ...` (e.g.
`WITH BINARY`, `WITH CSV HEADER`, `DELIMITER '|' NULL '\N' CSV`)
still in the wild from old pg_dump output.
PG syntax (from `../postgres/doc/src/sgml/ref/copy.sgml`):
COPY [schema.]table [ ( col [, ...] ) ]
{ FROM { 'file' | PROGRAM 'cmd' | STDIN }
| TO { 'file' | PROGRAM 'cmd' | STDOUT } }
[ [ WITH ] ( option [, ...] ) ]
Options accepted:
FORMAT 'text' | 'csv' | 'binary'
DELIMITER 'X' — single byte
NULL 'X' — null marker
HEADER BOOL | MATCH — 1st row treatment
QUOTE 'X' — CSV quote char
ESCAPE 'X' — CSV escape char (defaults to QUOTE)
FORCE_NOT_NULL ( col, ... ) | *
FORCE_NULL ( col, ... ) | *
FORCE_QUOTE ( col, ... ) | * — TO-only; we accept for COPY FROM as a no-op
ENCODING 'UTF8' — UTF-8 aliases accepted; others rejected
FREEZE [ BOOL ] — accepted, ignored
DEFAULT 'X' — defaults-marker (PG 16+)
OIDS [ BOOL ] — legacy, removed in PG 12; rejected

binary: rejected at this layer (returns :feature-not-supported)(coerce-field raw attr schema)Convert a raw string from a COPY data row into the typed value
expected by attr's :db/valueType. Returns the typed value, or
the raw string if no coercion is recognised. Any string→long
parse error throws ex-info :invalid-text-representation (the
PG SQLSTATE 22P02 we surface to clients via the wire).
This is COPY-specific because all values arrive as strings; INSERT
values come through JSqlParser typed and use coerce-insert-value
for any further normalisation.

(default-sentinel? v)True for the format-specific sentinel emitted by a raw COPY DEFAULT marker.

(options->map opts-vec)Translate the raw [["key" value] ...] option list (from either paren or legacy parser) into a normalised map with defaults applied. Throws :feature-not-supported for FORMAT 'binary' and :syntax-error for unknown options.
Translate the raw [["key" value] ...] option list (from either paren or legacy parser) into a normalised map with defaults applied. Throws :feature-not-supported for FORMAT 'binary' and :syntax-error for unknown options.
(parse-copy toks)(parse-copy toks sql)Parse a tokenised COPY statement in either direction.

The parse is structural: which direction/target combinations the server can actually execute is decided there, not here, so that an unsupported one reports what it is rather than a syntax error.
Throws ex-info with :error :syntax-error on malformed input,
or :feature-not-supported for COPY BINARY / OIDS.

row — vector of (String | text-null-sentinel | csv-null-sentinel)
columns — vector of lower-case column-name strings (length
must match row)
ns — table namespace (string)
row-marker — row-existence marker keyword (e.g.
:users/db-row-exists) — set true on every
entity so SELECT * row-marker filtering finds
them, matching the convention pg-datahike's INSERT
translator uses (stmt.clj:856).
schema — Datahike :schema map
row-idx — sequential row index
tempid-prefix — statement-unique prefix; two COPY commands buffered in
one transaction must never share Datahike tempids
Explicit NULL values remain nil until row validation, so they suppress column defaults. The validator removes nil keys before storage. Empty fields are kept as empty strings; ordered candidate preparation performs not-null and CHECK enforcement before the next source row.

scanning the raw SQL for the parenthesis that closes the one after
COPY.
Tokens cannot answer this. The query has to reach the real parser verbatim, and re-assembling it from this namespace's tokens would hand it back whatever the tokenizer normalised -- so the split is made on the characters, skipping over quoted strings and quoted identifiers so a parenthesis inside one does not count.
Returns nil when the SQL does not have that shape.
