Recently there was discussion about allowing a COPY statement to be a
SELECT target, returning a text array, although the syntax wasn't really
nailed down that I recall. I was thinking that we might have
COPY RETURNING ARRAY FROM ...
instead of
COPY tablename opt_column_list FROM ...
the we possibly could do things like:
SELECT t[5] as a, 3*(t[3]::numeric) as b FROM (COPY RETURNING ARRAY
FROM STDIN CSV) as t;
Thoughts?
