Logged by:          Ramanujam
Email address:      innomot...@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.0
Operating system:   linux x86_64
Description:        COPY does not work as expected in a plpgsql function
Details: 

A function like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test(parm character varying(3)) RETURNS SETOF
integer AS
$BODY$

BEGIN
    COPY (SELECT $1) TO '/tmp/test.txt' CSV;
END;

$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE COST 100 ROWS 100;

Throws an error:

Substrituting $1 with parm gives this error:
