All Arrays in 9.0 and lower are strings, regardless of if they are comprised of composite types. Its not so much a bug as a limitation. Alexey Klyukin fixed this for 9.1 :-) [ In 9.1 we could not make them straight perl arrayrefs as we needed to keep the string representation for backwards compatibility. What we did in 9.1 is overload the arrayref and string operations on blessed object so you can treat it as either. ] -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
