Hello,

Not sure whether it's appropriate list for feature requests though..
Would it be suitable to implement such variable declarations in PL/pgSQL so 
that following (or similar) constructs would be possible?

DECLAREtmpStruct (name varchar, foo integer, bar boolean)[] := array[
('somename', 1, true),
('someothername', 2, false),
('yetothername', 3, true)];
BEGIN
...

Or maybe it is possible already? (I know there are temporary tables but it's 
not quite the same). The goal to have temporary local random access data 
structures (like lookup tables), similar to those in C.
