Thanks for the hint according to the cube, this was actually exactly what I have been looking for. I wanted to do
somethingsimilar like the cube but I didn't think that it would be implemented in multiple dimension. I just thought,
thecube were a 3-d construct, but as I see in the sources, it is, in fact, n-dimensional. So my problems are solved
here.Btw I could manage to get my own point to be saved in the database using your hints, thanks for this.

Adda macro that converts a pointnd structure to dimension int by taking the VARSIZE_ANY_EXHDR / sizeof(float8) and use
itwhere dimension is used now. Or if your database is small you could keep dimension in the structure.
