PostgreSQL supports array type columns.

Our GUI form generation has surpassed trivial and gone to *free*, as in zero
coding for all standard table maintenance tasks.  But we did that with a
data dictionary, not with data types.  



If I understand what you are after, child lists, we did that by having the
GUI be acutely aware of foreign keys, providing links labeled "more detail"
that drill into child tables, and "more info" links next to foreign key
columns that bring you to the particular row in the parent table.
