Hi there.

Sorry if this is a silly question, I'm relatively new to PostgreSQL.

I'm trying to copy information from one column, modify it and place
it in another column.  Is there some shortcut way to do this with an
UPDATE statement?

So far I'm thinking I'll need to copy the table schema and then
INSERT...SELECT using the desired expressions.  Does that seem
reasonable?
