Message-ID: <NDBBKEGJICMIMJHJEBCOKENLFOAA.floyds@4peakstech.com> (raw)
using: psql (PostgreSQL) 7.2.1
why does an empty array return an array of length 1 rather than array of
length 0? one would think that the results below would have returned { }
instead of {0}.
simple test using psql:
# create table test_table ( test_column integer[] );
CREATE
# insert into test_table (test_column) values ( '{ }' );
INSERT 43475 1
# select * from test_table;
test_column
------------
{0}
(1 row)
i want to be able to store a zero-length array field in the database. how do
i specify this with sql?
