I'm sorry I wasn't clear enough describing the scenario.

Lets's say there were already 1000 records in the customers table.
Now I add 357 new customers to this table.

If I use one of your queries I'd get all 1357 entries of customers since 
"project_x.projectinfos" would be newly created for this project and 
therefor empty.

I need to know which customers.id was created for which line in the 
temporary table that I read in with copy.
When I have those ids I can fill "project_x.projectinfos" with just 
those new 357 customer.ids and foreign keys refering the new lookup-tables.
