Depending on what you want out you can get most of the way by having an array of ROWs that contain an array of integers. You just need to change: > select array( > select a from ( > select array[2,3] as a > union > select array[3,4] as a ) x); to return "x" instead of "a" in the inner select. Something like: select array( select x from ( select array[2,3] as a union select array[3,4] as a ) x); getting the resulting tuples out again is a bit of a struggle and you may be better off with using a custom type. Have a look at CREATE TYPE[1] for this. -- Sam http://samason.me.uk/ [1] http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createtype.html -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
