[follow-up message said Matteo was interested in plpgsql]

Still seems OK.

richardh=> create function copy_foo() returns int as '
richardh'> begin
richardh'> insert into foo2 select * from foo limit 1;
richardh'> return 1;
richardh'> end;' language 'plpgsql';
CREATE
richardh=> select copy_foo();
copy_foo
----------
1
(1 row)

richardh=> select * from foo2;
a | b

You weren't using SELECT INTO were you - there is a different form for
plpgsql.
