Why use arrays at all?

Why not normalize your data (put the n floats in another table) or add
the 6 floats to the rows you are dealing with?

If you insist on having arrays in fields then take a look at Storable,
it's C code and quite fast and it will serialize/unserialize data
structures for you.
