Research direction

Start with the PostgreSQL arrays documentation and Rezoom SQL's PostgresFunctions documentation, which the issue links, then trace how PostgreSQL column types are represented in migrations. Done would require an agreed workaround or a defined path for array-column support.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

PostgreSQL supports arrays as a datatype:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/arrays.html

For instance, a table blogposts could contain a column named tags which would be of type text[].

I want to write a migration where a table is created with such field. I couldn't find anything about arrays in Rezoom, is there something I missed or any workaround for it?

EDIT: OK, I just found https://rspeele.gitbooks.io/rezoom-sql/doc/Language/Functions/PostgresFunctions.html noting that arrays are not supported nor planned. Still, I would be glad to see a workaround (by using Postgre's arrays feature).
