Hello,
I have a composite datatype abc which has two integer fields x,y.
I have a table Test which has an array of abc.
I am trying to populate Test. Tried 
insert into test values (ARRAY[abc(1,2)]); but got error 
ERROR:  function abc(integer, integer) does not exist

Is there anyway for doing this?


I think you need to use row() and explicit type cast.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/rowtypes.html

postgres=# create type abc as (x integer, y integer);
CREATE TYPE
postgres=# create table foo(val abc[]);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# insert into foo values (array[row(1,2)::abc]);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# insert into foo values (array[row('1','2')::abc]);
INSERT 0 1
postgres=# select * from foo ;
    val
-----------
 {"(1,2)"}
 {"(1,2)"}
(2 rows)
