Hi all,

Even though PostgreSQL supports arrays, is it a good idea to use them? I
mean, they

a) don't conform to the relational model

and

b) are not transportable

so if one is designing an app, should one use them?

When should they not/never be used? What are the criteria for justifying
their use?

Paul...
