I know the feeling.  It's all too easy to get fixated on one idea and
then "not see the forest for the trees".  I've been there, done that far
more times than I'd care to admit.

You really don't want to know how badly I mis-used Postgres' arrays in
the past to achieve the result you initially described before I learned
about this stuff.

I'm sure there are plenty of topics where I'll need the kick in the
head.  And more where no amount of kicking will help me.  That's what I
like about these newsgroups:  they're a great place to get a second opinion.

Good luck!  Your album archive project sounds like more fun than
anything I'm working on.
