This last bit is probably solveable: can you post the code? You should be able to cast the other side if not the array itself. If you are inside a function, you already have built in iteration tools, so you may not even need to use a sequence at all. Again, seeing some code would go a long way here. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx End Point Corporation http://www.endpoint.com/ PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 201005050928 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iEYEAREDAAYFAkvhcwIACgkQvJuQZxSWSshkmACgtAXOeMoRaED4hKMk3SCHS4bf cDIAoNvJnWZ+FtNUZiUXm7YCW8gksZuu =DU+w -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
