Hi!

I have a serious problem with PostgreSQL 6.3 concerning array of char...
I can create table with array of char2 for exemple, but not array of
char.
create table tab1(a char2[][]);  -> OK
create table tab2(a int2[][]);  -> OK
create table tab3(a char[][]);  -> error... 

I can't find it as a known bug and this functionality was possible with
previous version of Postgresql.

Do you have an idea? A solution? I have very large tables and char[][]
is the only way I found to save values of 1 byte (as thin int are not
supported by PostgreSQL).

Thanks!

Stephane
