How to store an array in a database

[HoMyGod]

Hi,

I would like to store something like com.objectspace.jgl.Array in a database. Of course, I can not store it as a text field, because some of my array's content are textual. It means that I can not store things like "hello, world" because of the ",".
Is there a way to store a text array so that I can recover the original array with a request? And I would like to store it as a longtext, so that I can access the rows with a search engine...

Thank you
H.

You could do that in Oracle with custom data objects and access it with PL/SQL. Or you could make the array implement Serializable and then store it as a java object in the database but you would have to read into a java procedure to access it again.

This is not a typical piece of database functionality.
