I usually don't deal with in Flex, I pass the array to my backend and
let it loop over it. What's your backend here (what's doing the insert
into the db)?
But I think the root of your problem is that you don't have any record
id values in your array to tell the db where to put the values. My
normal approach for this is to not use arrays of strings, integers,
etc. but arrays (arraycollections actually) of objects. The objects
have some unique identifier(s) that can be used with the database.

How that is different from a database table with 25 rows?
Because it just is. LOL With 25 rows, you have 25 separate
records. This is 25 columns within a single record. There are other
columns too, not just these 25.
You populate your array from that table, use the array as a
datProvider and save changed data back to db. Am I missing something here?
I'm missing something here, obviously -- I have no clue how to do
what you just said.
My problem is, I want to reference each demoX column in the database
using something like array notation: 'demo[i]' where i is in a
for-loop from 1 to 25.
But you can't reference database columns that way -- you have to use
hard-coded strings. (ok, I don't know how to do it *without* using
hard-coded strings, let me put it that way.)
So how do I for-loop my way through that? Maybe I'm not explaining
myself well. But I don't know how else to explain it.

Ok, I think maybe I'm over-thinking this and confusing myself... But
how do I store an array in a Database?
I have an array 'demographics[]' with 25 elements in it (0 thru
24). I can certainly use a for-loop to loop through each element and
do whatever I want with each element. But when it comes to storing
them in the database, I'm at a loss. I have 25 strings in the DB,
named demo1, demo2, ... demo25. I can't access them using the same
type of for-loop syntax that I'm using to access my array, so how do
I copy the array into the database? And read it back out again?
Is there no choice but to do something like this:
my.DB.reference.demo1 = demographics[1];
my.DB.reference.demo2 = demographics[2];
...
my.DB.reference.demo25 = demographics[25];
That seems terrible, but it's the only way I've figured out how to do
it so far. There's GOT to be a better way. Please help.
