Hello

PostgreSQL has no table data type. You can use a array of records instead

and then

select fx((select array(select * from tab)));

Hi all,

Trying to clean up some data so I wrote myself a function which will insert
the new stuff okay but the existing data... I'm not sure how to run it
through the function.

To make life a little simpler on myself, the old data is in table webserv2
and the new data will go into table webserv2a.

The function insert_webserv2 takes the old arguments, cleans things up, and
inserts into webserv2a.

All is well there.  But I have a table full of stuff in webserv2 that I'd
like moved over.

I'd love to do:

select insert_webserv2( (select * from webserv2) );

but that obviously wont work.  Is there a simple way to feed a table through
the function?

-Andy

tried array_agg too:

stats=# select insert_webserv2((select array_agg (select * from webserv2 limit 1)) );
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "select"
LINE 1: select insert_webserv2((select array_agg (select * from webs...
