I have a requirement.

Created table called a.
CREATE TABLE a(no int primary key,name text);

Need to create reference key for no field of array. which is belongs to b
table.
The postgresql is not allowing to create a reference for incompatible type.

CREATE TABLE d(no int[] references a,name text);
ERROR: foreign key constraint "d_no_fkey" cannot be implemented
DETAIL: Key columns "no" and "no" are of incompatible types: integer[] and
integer.

Is there any solution to setting foreign key for an array.

NOTE:
Kindly ensure that I don't want to change the int to int[] in a
table.
