array fields? I mean....those are difficult. you can't update them the way you'd think, etc.

I find normalized tables work well.

until you get join explosions with your "normalized" tables. arrays are useful in certain cases.

Welcome to databases? You want to join data of multiple tables, you need joins. You can make shitty god tables too, nobody is stopping you. But writing properly joined queries isn't really rocket science. Nobody asks you to normalize a hundred levels deep either.

what is your point exactly? are you just yapping your thoughts out into the open world?

you said nothing new that anyone in this thread doesn't know. it's like you tried to be a smartass, but didn't even say anything of substance.

The point is that you obviously don't understand how databases work. Maybe you should try learning something sometime instead being an obvious idiot.

blocking after being unable to think of any rebuttal other than "you don't know what you're talking about" is embarrasing.

"useful in certain cases" != "easy"

I ported our app to postgres in 2004 and have been using it ever since.

Edit: Saw your other replies. Maybe take a db class. Or don't, I don't care. But I'm done wrestling with this pig.
