*/
SELECT arr[1:1] FROM ourarrtable WHERE id=2;
-- "{{11,12,13}}"
-- Works for 1-dim. array in row 1:
UPDATE ourarrtable SET arr = array_append(arr, 4) WHERE id = 1;
-- How to append say number 14 to '{11,12,13}' inside 2-dim. array?
UPDATE ourarrtable SET arr[1:1] = array_cat(arr[1:1], 14) WHERE id = 1;
/*
