Subject: ERROR:  cannot subscript type text because it is not an array
Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2011 08:26:57 -0500 (CDT)
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.00.1108310820490.21634@rray.drdc.mstc.ms.gov> (raw)

I have table with field l type lseg

  Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
  cnt    | integer |
  used   | boolean |
  l      | lseg    |
  c      | text    |

select l from t where used = false group by l[0];
ERROR:  cannot subscript type text because it is not an array

select l from gcode where used = false group by l[0][0],l[0][1];
ERROR:  cannot subscript type text because it is not an array


Using PostgreSQL 8.3.11
How can I work around this

Richard
