Issue With COPY TO STDOUT / COPY FROM STDIN

[rski]

I seem to be having issues with the <psql -U postgres -d database1> -c "COPY <tablename> TO STDOUT;" | <psql -U postgres -d database2> -e -c "COPY <tablename> FROM STDIN;" when both databases reside on the same localhost machine. These commands work beautifully when the databases reside on different remote machines.

I could find nothing in documentation or forums that would indicate that this is an issue. The only difference in execution is location of the databases -- nothing else.

Is there something I'm missing regarding local execution?

what is the error message?
