Yes. But I still don't like to use arrays to do it. You must deal with the relation between field names and array elements and this is just one more thing to take care when the structure is changed, etc. I found out that not using COPY TO ARRAY and SELECT INTO ARRAY saves me from a lot of work, so... You know, when you use this commands, even if the changes don't affect your arrays/mechanism, you still have to check it every time you do some changes (at least, I must do it, since I don't have a perfect memory :)).
