Re: If there a bug in the psql or just a feature .

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the tips, Tom. I have that feeling from the start
(with the two different implementation) but never actually have a chance
to confirm with someone.

1. It there a way to store the dynamic array at all ?

I notice psql has a similar type - Single Dynamic Dimensional
Array. However there isn't any built in operators(<,<=,==,>,>=) for Array
to do sorting.

2. Can I write one up ?

regards,
Van.
