Hi.
I've started to fiddle with arrays. Every time I fiddle stuff breaks or
won't work for me :)
It seems that you can't have a NULL value in an array. I think based on
the idea of RDBMSes you should be able to have an array value that is
null... Running an update and setting a single array value to null seems
to nuke the entire array.
create table test(features int4[]);
insert into test values ('{NULL,1}');
ERROR: pg_atoi: error in "NULL": can't parse "NULL"
insert into test values ('{0,1}');
insert into test values ('{,1}');
select * from test;
features
--------
{0,1}
{0,1}
(2 rows)
update test set features[2]=NULL;
UPDATE 2
select * from test;
features
--------
(2 rows)
Positively a bad thing...
