The patch is attached for your edification/amusement. I have backpatched it to 8.4 for the client that needed it, and it's working just fine. I didn't pursue it when it was clear that it was not going to be accepted. COPY returning text[] would allow us to achieve the same thing, a bit more verbosely, but it would be a lot more work to develop. cheers andrew
