Just trying to get a handle on how to work with an array as a datatype.

For exampel I set up a table:

name varchar (20),
ageids int4[]

Made an INSERT like:

insert into TABLENAME (name, ageids) values ('test', '{1, 2, 3, 4}');

What I haven't been able to figure out is how to do a select where one of
the ageids = a particular number.

I'd like to do something like
select * from tablename where ( any ageids = 3 )

just don't know the syntax.. if this is even possible. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Kevin
