It's not clear what your object id generator does. If it's just a
sequence, it's not clear that you need this program at all--just use a
SELECT INTO and make the object id a SERIAL.

If you do need to control the object id or do some other processing
before putting the data into the new table, rewrite to use a COPY
instead of an INSERT.
