I've done some searching through the mailing lists and haven't found any info regarding what I need. I have an array of values of type int8. I want to be able to rollup the data and have postgres do all the summing for me. I've looked at the commands and haven't found what I need. Here is what I get: detailed=# select sum(valuearray) from data where objid=34; ERROR: Unable to select an aggregate function sum(_int8) So I decided I would write my own function that I would load into postgres. The problem is, how do I access each element in the array? I can get the array and return it, but in the function I would like to get each separate value and do the summing, then return the summed array. Can anyone help?
