Richard,
So the solution can be:
(i) either write a function to insert the values into the array one by one
(ii) or else upgrade to 7.4 (or 8) to use the ARRAY syntax.
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Robert

Well, from 7.4 you can do:
INSERT INTO test SELECT ARRAY[textvalue1, textvalue2] FROM test2;
INSERT 0 2
richardh=> SELECT * FROM test;
details
-----------------
{Hello1,World1}
{hello2,World2}
(2 rows)
I think in 7.3 you might have to write your own function to assemble the
array. I'm not an array expert though, so might be worth checking the
mailing list archives.
