We add an option for `COPY FROM` called `match_by_name` which matches Parquet file fields to PostgreSQL table columns `by their names` rather than `by their order` in the schema. By default, the option is `false`. The option is useful when field order differs between the Parquet file and the table, but their names match. **!!IMPORTANT!!**: This is a breaking change. Before the PR, we match always by name. This is a bit strict and not common way to match schemas. (e.g. COPY FROM csv at postgres or COPY FROM of duckdb match by field position by default) This is why we match by position by default and have a COPY FROM option `match_by_name` that can be set to true for the old behaviour. Closes #39.

Looks good
- could consider a GUC with the default match_by method
- maybe add a table to the readme with important changes
lets move it to breaking changes section when we release. |
We add an option for
COPY FROM
calledmatch_by [position(default) | name]
which determines the match method for the Postgres table columns and Parquet file fields. By default, the match method isposition
