Thanks. Would probably be a > good snippet for the wiki. this was actually a pretty typical solution to dealing with arrays until we got 'unnest()'. See information_schema._pg_expand_array for example. I need this functionality quite often...maybe we could use a version of unnest that works like that (returns idx, elem)? It would be a small efficiency win over generate_series based approaches. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
