you can't do it directly :( now.

postgres=# create or replace function accum() returns int[] as
$$declare s int[] = '{}'; r record; begin for r in select * from f2
loop s := s || array[[r.a, r.b]]; end loop; return s; end;$$ language
plpgsql;
\CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# select accum();      accum
-------------------{{10,10},{20,20}}
(1 row)

postgres=# select * from f2;a  | b
----+----10 | 1020 | 20
(2 rows)
