Hi,

This might be a pretty simple question, but could not find any exmples anywhere. I want to store an array of strings in postgresql. How do we go about defining this in the ecto schema? It should be something like [“One”, “Two”, …]

This is what I tried so far

product_certs: [String.t()]

embeds_many :product_certs, String, on_replace: :delete

You can define a field in your Ecto.Schema be of the {:array, :string} type.

Reference: Ecto.Schema — Ecto v3.9.2

Embed is meant for schemas within schemas.
