The Qt database driver is not great for general use. Where it shines is when you want to do simple CRUD queries and to
havethem connected to widgets with minimal work. It should support arrays, though, with a little data transformation. 

If you're looking to use C++ then Qt is an excellent framework for a GUI app - one that you won't beat for
cross-platformwork - but you might consider whether using libpqxx or libpq to connect to the database might suit your
needsbetter.
