John:

Thanks for reply so fast. I think that store my data as tables will be the best.

Thanks again.

SQL has no such concept as 'associative arrays'.  it understands relations (tables).

maybe convert it to hstore format, and pass it in as a text string, but your example gets even messier in that you've nested these associative things.

would be much more appropriate to store that data as tables in postgresql.
