I have a couple of questions regarding unnest.

1) If I issue a select statement "select unnest(vector1) as v from some_table", I cannot seem to use the column alias v in a WHERE or HAVING clause. I can use it in an ORDER BY or GROUP by clause. Is this the way it is supposed to work?

2) If I issue a select statement "select unnest(vector1) as v1, unnest(vector2) as v2 from some_table" and vector1 has a length of 3 and vector2 has a length of 4, the result set will have 12 rows with the data of vector1 repeating 4 times and vector2 repeating 3 times. Shouldn't the content of the shorter array(s) simply be return null in it's respective column and the result set be the size of the longest array?

Thanks,
Karl
