Hi,

i want to create a linked structure of values. Each text has an id, an
array of children ids and the value itself.

  CREATE TABLE structure
    (
    id int8,
    children int8[],
    value text
    );

Now i want to select all values which are connected to a given parent #x
at once. My first idea was this:

  SELECT value 
  FROM structure
     WHERE id IN (SELECT children FROM structure WHERE id = #x);

But this causes an error because the array field just returns a string
instead of seperated values. Is there a way to make arrays return sort
of "real arrays" or something usable in a subselect in reasonable speed?


Thank you
Alvar
