Re: [Gusdev-gusdev] Porting to PostgreSQL

[Steve F. <sfi...@pc...>]

I think we need to find a name that is appropriate across all platforms, 
and is self-explanatory.  

we just need to find a prefix which captures the full generality of the 
Array as we are using it.

how about:
  MicroArray
  BioArray
  ExpressionArray
  HybridizationArray
