Hi Rami,

Thank you very much for the answer, but I still don't understand much about 
the two tables, which you recommended.

For example:
My original database:
-----------------------------------
userId | Friends
------------------------------------
user1 | user3 
user2 | user3 
user3 | user1, user2
-------------------------------------

The new tables are:

Userdata:
----------
userId
-----------
user1
user2
user3
--------

Friends:
----------------------
friendId | userId
------------------------
user1 | user3
user2 | user3
user3 | user1
user3 | user2
---------------------------

1)In this Example the user1 and user2 has the same friend user3, so the 
"Friends" Table needs more space then the first ARRAY Type. Isn't it?

2) Why do I need the table "Userdata" ? I can easily use "select * from 
Friends where userId = ???"  and get all the information. Will the Table 
userdata speed up the selection?

May be my questions are very stupid... I am really new in database. :(
