Yes. I should've said "most" and some thanks to libs. I'm busy in other source which is why I hoped those who were already engulfed in pg's source would have a solution... Thought this functionality may be around... somewhere.... which is why I asked. Took a brief look at intarray_del_elem() function you mentioned. This may be perfect, and then some. I'll play around with it. Thanks __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
