Hello

PostgreSQL supports modifyable arrays. You have to respect some
specific (depend on version of postgresql). Array have to be
initialised (filled) for all  pg versions older than 8.2.

create or replace function foo()
returns int as $$
declare a int[] = '{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}';  -- inicialisation need for
versions < 8.2.
begin a[4] := 10; a[8] := 10;
raise notice '%', a;
return a[4];
end$$ language plpgsql;

Regards
Pavel Stehule
