The number of rows in the array will be dictated by the FOR clause and the number of columns will be dictated either by the number of fields in the table or the number of fields specified in the FIELDS clause of the COPY TO ARRAY command.

Thanks for the heads up, Dore. As I mentioned, I don't use COPY TO ARRAY, however. I think back in FPD 2.0, I found that the SQL approach was faster and stuck with that.
