If i use two arrays how do i append new entries into these arrays.
array_append only allows for 1 dimension.
what other methods are there to add new entries to the array.

PostgreSQL. Why not try it with two arrays and see what happens. At

reducing the single array and the eliminating the append.
danap.
I got the aggregate function for weighted average done. I finely
left alone for more than 10 minutes to actual get it written. It
takes 2 value input Weight and the Value. it will sum the weighted
entries to create the constant then does the normal formula, but does
not percentage number but averaged number. A simple change on the
return line it can do percentages.
I did a couple of things a little odd . instead of doing a multi
dimensional array i did a one dimensional array where the 1st row is
Weight and the 2nd row is Value. This made the loop through the
array look stupid.
I tested it across 50,000 records with a group by it took 3.3 seconds
to run.
without the group by clause performance is terrible taking several
minutes just to do the sfunc part. 371,563ms
The Array seems to have performance hit any advice? It could be
the way i'm appending to the Array which has a performance hit as the
array gets bigger and bigger ?
