Hi,

Is it possible to store a list of integers inside a  table column? I want to create a table as follows:

col x        col y        col z
==================
xxxx         yyyy        [z,z,z]
xxxx        yyyy        [z,z,z,z,z,z,z]
xxxx        yyyy        [z,]

As you can see each row has a col z which i s a list of values.
I tried to pickle my python list and store it in a column where type is CharType. This works fine but I have to specify the length of the column. This means that I have to "guess" the maximum length of the pickled data.  

Is there a better way to store a list of intergers inside a column?
