Hello

arrays in PostgreSQL have to be regular allways. And before 8.3 array
cannot contais NULL, so you cannot simpl resize two dim array :(. But
your functions doesn't work in 8.3. too. So you can

a) use 1D array and access to array like myarray[10*(n1-1)+n2]

b) init array with string like

create or replace function testfunc()
returns void as $$
DECLARE
  myArray int[][];
BEGIN
  myArray :=  ('{'||array_to_string(array(select
'{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}'::text from
generate_series(1,10)),',')||'}')::int[][];
  FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
    FOR j IN 1..10 LOOP
      RAISE NOTICE '% %', i, j;
      myArray[i][j] := 1;
    END LOOP;
  END LOOP;
  RETURN;
END
$$ language plpgsql;

Thanks for the info, but running the above gives me that :

ponline=# select testfunc();
ERROR:  cannot cast type text to integer[]
CONTEXT: SQL statement "SELECT ('{'||array_to_string(array(select '{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0}'::text from generate_series(1,10)),',')||'}')::int[][]"
PL/pgSQL function "testfunc" line 4 at assignment

I think 8.1 does not have text -> int[] cast available. I think I'm stuck with option a.
