You'll probably end up forgetting what you know about arrays: I
recommend a read through this to get a quick understanding of how things
are done in the RDBMS world:

ltut.html&hl=en#Joins

(original site seems to have vanished)

Once you have a handle on that, read the PostgreSQL docs for
primary/foreign keys and referential integrity.

Hope that helps
