node-postgres is by design pretty light on abstractions. These are some handy modules we've been using over the years to complete the picture:

- [brianc/node-pg-copy-streams](https://github.com/brianc/node-pg-copy-streams) - COPY FROM / COPY TO for node-postgres. Stream from one database to another, and stuff.
