Re: [SQL] query an array...

Try:

SELECT test.n[1], test.n[2], test.n[3], test.n[4] from test;

It should get you what you need.

Or you could make it a little more clear with something like:

SELECT
test.n[1] as one, test.n[2] as two, test.n[3] as three,
test.n[4] as four
FROM test;

As that would give you more descriptive column names (which is a
useful thing in PHP).
