That's what the post I replied to mentioned :) Also, when I looked at hstore, it had a limitation on its length which made it a little dangerous to use for me: "In the current implementation, neither the key nor the value string can exceed 65535 bytes in length" [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/hstore.html] It looks like this limitation has been lifted in 9.0. Good news!
