Similar ideas were already suggested: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-11/msg01601.php http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-11/msg01610.php Regardless, I think there needs to be a way to pass arguments to the functions (at least the startup one). The obvious use case is to pass the destination table name, so that you don't have to define a separate target for each destination table.
