Well, I would appreciate getting shorter replies that are to the point
and don't rely on standing on soap boxes and using exercises in
polemics to make their point, but I probably won't get that.

The fact is, if your data is in that format, then the schema is
working against you, and everything you do is going to be much harder
than changing your schema to something that makes some more sense.

Next time I'll hold your hand a bit more, but yesterday I was very far
out of it (I'm not exactly 100% today either) with a bad head cold.
Now, should we have more exchanges to determine who can use the most
flowery of speech or should we talk pgsql and schema changes?
