Mr Anderson-you use an enum to indicate your DNSrecordtype as in this MySQL 
exampleCREATE TABLE dns_updates| Field              |Type  | Null | Key | 
Default | Extra  || id    | int(11) | NO   | PRI | NULL | auto_increment || 
bd_order_id    | int(11)          | YES  |     | NULL                || domain  
         | varchar(70)      | NO   |     |                     || 
dns_entry_type  | enum('MX','TXT') | YES  |     | NULL           || 
dns_entry_value   | varchar(255)     | YES  |     |                     || 
created_timestamp | datetime         | NO   | MUL | 0000-00-00 00:00:00 |for 
Postgres sub in text[] columns dns_entry_type forthe specified enum datatype 
and insert in '{"MX", "TXT"}'  for dns_entry_type valuesAnyone else?Martin >
