To reference one or more elements of an ARRAY data type when invoking an ARRAY function, you can use an integer value for 1-D arrays, but you must use the ArrayVec ARRAY data type for n-D arrays. The ArrayVec ARRAY data type is automatically created by the system and is defined as:

CREATE TYPE ArrayVec AS INTEGER ARRAY[1000]; 

For all ARRAY functions that contain an optional scope_reference or array_bound argument, you can use one or more instances of the ArrayVec ARRAY type to describe the boundaries of each dimension of an n-D ARRAY data type.
