TCL_ARRAYS is a kluge in my humble opinion, but we haven't really settled on something better --- in particular, the challenge is to fix it without breaking other things. See the mailing list archives for prior discussions, notably the thread starting at http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=40589 Unless you want to tackle the problem of providing a replacement feature, I'd recommend just adding the extra code :-( regards, tom lane
