Does anyone take advantage of the features of the database, or is it
just for storage?
Would any of you use an array as a storage type?
CREATE TABLE sal_emp (
name text,
pay_by_quarter integer[],
schedule text[][]
);
That is cool as shit.
Now we can show some INSERT statements:
INSERT INTO sal_emp
VALUES ('Bill',
'{10000, 10000, 10000, 10000}',
'{{"meeting", "lunch"}, {"training", "presentation"}}');
INSERT INTO sal_emp
VALUES ('Carol',
'{20000, 25000, 25000, 25000}',
'{{"breakfast", "consulting"}, {"meeting", "lunch"}}');
The result of the previous two inserts looks like this:
SELECT * FROM sal_emp;
name | pay_by_quarter | schedule
-------+---------------------------+-------------------------------------------
Bill | {10000,10000,10000,10000} | {{meeting,lunch},{training,presentation}}
Carol | {20000,25000,25000,25000} | {{breakfast,consulting},{meeting,lunch}}
(2 rows)
PostgreSQL is real powerful in capability.
