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...
