Considerations
The COPY command is intended for use when you need to modify the definition
of a name and the system on which the name is defined is unavailable. After a
name is copied, it may be locally updated. The system that has copied a name is
referred to as the copy node.
Updates of a copied name are only visible at the copy node.
If the definition node for a copied name becomes available and updates the
definition of that name, the update is not visible at the copy node until the copy is
deleted with the RESTORE command.
