PostgreSQL copy text type column to text[] array type column I have two columns, material_size (text type) and material_size_temp (text[] array type).

When I ran UPDATE parts SET material_size_temp[0] = material_size; I would get values like [0:0]={".021 x 2.450"} instead of {".021 x 2.450"}.

How do I clone the text type column to text[] array type column?
I was close, unlike JavaScript and PHP it seems PostgreSQL array key numbers start with 1, not 0.

UPDATE parts SET material_size_temp[1] = material_size;
