Yes,
imagine, you have 2 tables:
test=*# select * from f1;
id | name
----+------
1 | foo
2 | bar
3 | batz
(3 rows)
test=*# select * from f2;
i_id | f1_id
------+-------
1 | 1
1 | 2
2 | 1
2 | 2
2 | 3
(5 rows)
f1 contains your characteristics, f2 contains the assignment person ->
characteristics.
Now you can see all characteristics for person with id=1:
test=*# select array_to_string(array(select name from f1 where id in (select
f1_id from f2 where i_id = 1)), ', ');
array_to_string
-----------------
bar, foo
(1 row)
Hope that helps, Andreas
