Yes,
imagine, you have 2 tables:
test=*# select * from f1;id | name
----+------ 1 | foo 2 | bar 3 | batz
(3 rows)
test=*# select * from f2;i_id | f1_id
------+------- 1 | 1 1 | 2 2 | 1 2 | 2 2 | 3
(5 rows)
f1 contains your characteristics, f2 contains the assignment person ->
characteristics.
Now you can see all characteristics for person with id=1:
test=*# select array_to_string(array(select name from f1 where id in (select f1_id from f2 where i_id = 1)), ',
');array_to_string
-----------------bar, foo
(1 row)
Hope that helps, Andreas
