If a field(attribute) in a type is declared to be an array. Then is it always the case that the array will be packed
intoa single tuple that resides in the database. There is the TOAST mechanism for oversized tuples but that is still
consideredto be a single tuple. Is there any circumstance in which an attribute which is an array will be broken up
intoindividual
tuples which are somehow associated with the main tuple. Such as if the array happens to have 5000 elements and the
tuplewill become quite large if these are packed within a single tuple and additionally it may have undesirable
performanceimpact if the queries are not even interested in seeing the array when fetching the object ?
thanks
