Hello Dmitriy,
I think this combination of attributes and children:
will be a good balance between size and my original problem
>> >> > <user id="bla bla bla ...>
>> >> > Â<pref_money date="2010-52" money="760" />
>> >> > Â<pref_money date="2010-51" money="3848" />
>> >> > Â... etc ...
>> >> > </user>
(combining user data and their stats in 1 chunk of information).
And I don't use JSON, because it is not natively
supported by Flex/Flash and my app is in Flex (here is its pic:

)
You haven't backuped your statement by any arguments
>> > Well, generally storing data in attributes should be avoided:
:-) You have asked how to aggregate string -- I've answered you how
to do it by one statement without needs to write any of PL/pgSQL code.
So the string aggregation problem is solved. ;-)
This list is not correct place to discuss XML. My only argument is a
common sense. You don't make difference between the data and attributes.
The data of <pref_money> is obviously money amount and the date is
obviously its attribute:
<user id="id">
 <pref_money date="2010-..">money_value</pref_money>
 ...
</user>
PS. If you don't want to follow this way you can "reduce" the size of XML
transfer by placing all the data in one tag:
<user id="id" prefmoneydate="2010-.." prefmoneyvalue="..."/>
