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
