Arrays in PG have better performance and the support in PL/pgSQL is
good too.
That doesn't mean we should just remove them, we could also improve
support for arrays in Firebird, both in PSQL, DSQL and in the
API/protocol
With regard to performance, the problem with arrays in Firebird is that
- just like blobs - they are out-of-band: you need separate requests to
get them.
That said, I've never had the need to use arrays, and I won't miss them
if they are gone.
