I'm trying to figure out the most elegant way to solve my database design 
problem and I thought I pick some at the brains on this list.

The problem involves 2 tables, one of editors and one of categories, both 
have unique ID numbers.  Each editor can have authority over an arbitrary 
number of categories, and conversely, each category can have an arbitrary 
number of editors.  So what is the best way to represent this in the DB? 
(Which is PostgreSQL 7 BTW)

Right now I am considering using an array in one of the tables but I have 
heard that walking the array to check values is both slow and somewhat 
cumbersome.  Is there a good way to do this with a third table maybe?

Please don't hesitate to point out my stupidity if the simplicity of the 
solution indicates it. :)

Thanks,

-Jesse
