Yes, I'm afraid you're gonna be out of luck on finding the array type in any
of
the smaller embedded databases. Honestly, the beg project I've been on for a
year or so has used Postgres right through full development and testing.
It's
not hard to start and stop the database whenever I need to although I
usually
just leave it running.
