Why not use a conventional table to hold this information that references your employee table?

  I know that if I create a table salary that references my employee table
works! But I'm trying to work with the composite type concept!
 Thinking in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) I have a class employee that
is composed by the class salary among other things! Like:

Class salary { private float value; private date validity;
}

Class employee { private int ID; private String name; private salary[] sal;
}

So I'd like to map these classes to PostgreSQL. I think nested tables are
one of the advantages of object-relational databases. And it works if I
think in just one salary for each employee. But I want to keep all salary
history for each employee. Is there any way?

There is always an _typname created for arrays like we have _int4 for
_int4, _varchar for varchar and _timestamp for timestamp etc.

May be you have to write some _typname for your type to use it in
arrays. We always use array_in and array_out for _typenames BTW.

This may be helpful to you.
