You'd be wrong... arrays are *not* an SQL datatype. Arrays are a PostgreSQL
construct.

The closest thing I can come up with is creating a simple table with an
integer array column as a template, then you can declare a variable with a
TYPE matching that table. For example:

CREATE TABLE int_array_table (int_array integer[12]);

Then you can say:

monthday int_array_table.int_array%TYPE

But to be honest, I haven't tried this, so I can't say if it works or not.
