Have you considered just creating a view, or even retrieval functions, the
generate these "object forms" on the fly instead of altering your database
schema? Using arrays for master-detail relationships is typically
considered wrong and is definitely non-relational. Your application should
not dictate schema design to this level generally but instead you should add
an O-R layer where needed.
