create table foo (bar int4[]);
insert into foo values('{1,2,3}');
update foo set bar[2] = 4;
update foo set bar = '{5,4,4,4,5}';
I don't think you can extend a dynamic array without setting the entire
array (like the last example), which is probably a bit unfortunate.
If you're using arrays you may want to check out the stuff in
pgsql/contrib/array as well.
