I'm afraid you find a real problem here. I just didn't think about inserting
arrays. If you give ecpg an array of int it inserts every single value as
one int. That means:

insert into foo(bar) values(:intarray)

is equal to:

for (i=0;i<maxarray;i++)
insert into foo(bar) values(:intarray[i])

How shall ecpg see that this time it is meant to insert the whole array?

Anyone with an idea?
