I don't much like either of those, because they seem misleading: what I'd expect from a function named that way is that it returns the *elements* of the array, not their subscripts. Come to think of it, do we have a way of doing that directly? If you only care about accessing the array elements, it seems like dealing in the subscripts is just notational tedium. Perhaps there should be array_expand(anyarray) returns setof anyelement, in addition to the subscript generation function. On the question of being too long, I could live with generate_subscripts(). regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
