Hi
I am afraid, so this functionality is supported only in unreleased
PostgreSQL 9.5
postgres=# SELECT ARRAY(SELECT ARRAY[true::text,false::text] FROM
generate_series(1,2));
┌─────────────────────────────┐
│ array │
╞═════════════════════════════╡
│ {{true,false},{true,false}} │
└─────────────────────────────┘
(1 row)
It is one from new features there.
In previous versions you can to write own custom aggregate function.
