If you declare record or table row types, you can insert the values  
using (rec.*), something like this:


create or replace function test ()
returns void as $$
declare
	rec record;
begin
	for rec in select * from whatever loop
		insert into some_table values (rec.*);
	end loop;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
