There already is support in array_in for specification of the array dimensions (though it may be suffering bit rot for lack of use/testing). I think the main thing needed is some thought about when array_out should print dimensions; we don't want it doing so all the time, for both clutter and backwards compatibility reasons. Maybe "whenever any lower bound is not 1" would do; or maybe we want to invent a GUC switch to control its behavior. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: Have you checked our extensive FAQ? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs/FAQ.html
