Postgres supports arrays as attributes. The syntactic
operators are misleading, but they work (sort of) well
enough. Real difficulty is encountered when one tries
to write pgplsql that operates on such things -- because,
as with all products I've had to deal with, there are
gaps between the query language and the procedural
language. [Big sigh.]
