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. -- Regards Flemming Frandsen aka.
