Using Array-Values in subselect

Hi,

i want to create a linked structure of values. Each text has an id, an
array of children ids and the value itself.
 CREATE TABLE structure   (   id int8,   children int8[],   value text   );

Now i want to select all values which are connected to a given parent #x
at once. My first idea was this:
 SELECT value  FROM structure    WHERE id IN (SELECT children FROM structure WHERE id = #x);

But this causes an error because the array field just returns a string
instead of seperated values. Is there a way to make arrays return sort
of "real arrays" or something usable in a subselect in reasonable speed?


Thank you
Alvar
