In pre 9.1 I use the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.part_unnest(anyarray)
RETURNS SETOF anyarray
AS $BODY$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY
SELECT (SELECT array_agg($1[i][i2])
FROM generate_series(array_lower($1,2), array_upper($1,2)) i2)
FROM generate_series(array_lower($1,1), array_upper($1,1)) i;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql IMMUTABLE;
Not sure if anyone has a cleaner / quicker example.
