I'd suggest using a tuple, arrays for things where each element means the same thing. I'd guess you care about the substructure (i.e. the element has a "namespace", a "name" and a "value") and hence using an array in the first place seems wrong. Maybe something like: CREATE TYPE foo AS ( namespace TEXT, name TEXT, value TEXT ); SELECT id, array_accum(row(a,b,c)::foo) FROM data GROUP BY id; > Why doesn't this work? Arrays of arrays aren't directly supported; you currently have to put them into a tuple first. Something like: CREATE TYPE bar AS ( a TEXT[] ); SELECT array_agg(row(array['a'])::bar); -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
