While down loading 8.1.3, I tried the following:
update pf_inspectionsBld set insdate[0] = current_date
update pf_inspectionsBld set insdate[1] = current_date
update pf_inspectionsBld set insdate[2] = current_date
update pf_inspectionsBld set insdate[3] = current_date
update pf_inspectionsBld set insdate[4] = current_date + 1
select * from pf_inspectionsBld
A-2 | 1793 |
[0:4]={04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/25/2006}
yet if I try
update pr_inspectionsbld set inspdate[3] = null
then
select * from pf_inspectionsBld
A-2 | 1793 |
[0:4]={04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/24/2006,04/25/2006}
i.e. no error and no change
what am I missing??
thanks

I am running 8.1.2, what can I do in the mean time?
You could build from source using HEAD. (This is probably not a good idea for
a production system.)
You could restructure your data model to not use arrays. (You probably
shouldn't be using them anyway. Arrays should be used for things that are
naturally arrays (e.g. vectors) and I would be surprised if this was the
case when you are storing dates.)
Also note that 8.1.3 is out and 8.1.4 will probably be out soon, so you
should be looking to upgrade in any case.
thanks

How do you add null values to a date array?
update dattable set insDate= '{04/12/2006,null}' <-- doesn't work
That is the correct format. However, I think that only works in HEAD
(what will become 8.2 in about 6 months).
