Thank you so much. BTW, may I ask one more question that, how should I select
every first element of the array??
I know that "select p[:] from f" will print all element of the p array, but I
probably would want to present result as "select p[:].a from f", but the
statement does not work.
May I as the correct statement of displaying all first element of the composite
type in an array??
Thank you!

Hi:
I would like to import data from a csv table. But the table that is going to be
inserted is constructed with arrays and composite types, also with array of
composite.
I have tried many ways of inserting but fail. Can anyone help? Thank you so
much.
create type p as (a int, b int);
create table f(pv p[], c int);
insert into f values(array[(10,20),(30,40)]::p[], 1000);
insert into f values(array[(1,20),(3,40)]::p[], -1000);
postgres=# copy f to stdout csv;
"{""(10,20)"",""(30,40)""}",1000
"{""(1,20)"",""(3,40)""}",-1000
Time: 0,391 ms
So you have to respect this format. CSV doesn't know a arrays, doesn't know
composite - so these values are passed as string
