I don't think you need a CTE or a loop unless you want to delete the old rows. Why not (hard to say exactly how it will work): INSERT INTO a(old_id, new_id, ...) SELECT id, new_id(), ... from a; ?
Well, the table A, in which I'm copying rows, does not have old_id, new_id, just a primary key, so the idea is to link original pkey and new pkey separately. Adding new_id to the table is not an option, besides what would new_id() stand for?
