I have a "materialized path" tree table like this (simplified):
CREATE TABLE product (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
parents INT[] NOT NULL,
name TEXT NOT NULL,
UNIQUE (parents, name)
);
CREATE INDEX name ON product(name);
Previously I use TEXT column for parents, but arrays look interesting and convenient so I'm considering migrating to arrays. However, how do I rewrite this using arrays?
SELECT * FROM product
WHERE parents LIKE '0001/0010/%';
In other words, testing against the first N elements in an array.

Dave
