[DB-SIG] DB-API and 'COPY table FROM STDIN'

[Braden]

Hello,

   I'm a bit new to database stuff, so I'm sorry if this question has  
an easily discoverable answer.

   Basically I wanted to know, when using the DB API, is it possible  
to execute a 'COPY table FROM STDIN' command?  If so, where would  
stdin be in this case?  I.e., where would one send the data?

   If this isn't possible, is there some similar way to dump a lot of  
data into a table when using the DB API?  Is the closest thing using  
a cursor's 'executemany' method with an 'INSERT' command?

   Thanks for any help!
