If nFoo is an array with enough elements this would be legal in the sense that it would work and would not generated any errors.

But it appears to be quite inefficient and inelegant. Without knowing anything else about the application, it would appear that COPY TO ARRAY or SELECT INTO ARRAY would do the same thing much more cleanly. Even a SCAN loop would be "better" code.
