Hey sorry if my answer is stupid,
but there is an extension for array, even if it is limited to int (but int could be indexes of row)
It provides essential function, although lacking some (I re-implemented union of array with disjoint result).
I think this extension uses indexes

Cheers,

can you elaborate on that?

merlin

To me, an array is a vector (or a vector of vectors). So I'm looking for an operator where

ARRAY[1,4,3] doesn't contain ARRAY[3,1] and
ARRAY[2,7] isn't contained by ARRAY[1,7,4,2,6] (but ARRAY[1,7,4] is)

IOW order matters to me, but not to the array operators mentioned in http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/functions-array.html. Note that index support is important.
