Yes, it sure will.

But only, I don't want to break up the arrays because the tables become
unreadible when I have to add 15 solutions to a particular medium. And I try
to keep the tables editable by hand.

So I thought it would be possible to make a function that converts an array
to a query result. But I really don't know whether this could be practically
possible. I'm not too effluent in c, so I wanted to ask before I start to
write code and duplicate something that already exists....

Thanks a lot,

Jeroen
