Re: Array Question - Mailing list pgsql-novice

The documentation reads as follows:
"An array value can be replaced completely:

UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter = '{25000,25000,27000,27000}'
    WHERE name = 'Carol';

 or updated at a single element:

UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter[4] = 15000
    WHERE name = 'Bill';

 or updated in a slice:

UPDATE sal_emp SET pay_by_quarter[1:2] = '{27000,27000}'
    WHERE name = 'Carol'; "

I try this simple statement and get the same error:

UPDATE chist SET broker[10] = 195 WHERE code = 'AAATMOUS000';

Any ideas?
Thanks...
