Hoping a thing is true doesn't mean it must be true :-) > We all know programming languages have ways to delete items in an > array natively, it just needs to be exposed. No, we don't all know that because it isn't generally true, or else you're using a loose definition of "natively." Languages differ in what capabilities they offer "natively." contrib/intarray implements an intarray_del_elem() function, presumably because the core product doesn't offer that capability, or at least didn't when the module was written. If you think it's there just waiting to be exposed, then dig into the source code and expose it :-) -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
