Right.  Valentina 4.x do not have ARRAY field type.

For 5.0 we have added ENUM type.
And will continue to add
    composite and 
    array of simple types first of all

What you mean about VarBinary?  I have not catch.

What exactly you want store into ARRAY?
    What type items?
    how much?
    you think about fixed size array like  Months[12]
    or dynamic size?


In fact, you should realize, that TABLE itself is ARRAY.
You can make table Months with 12 columns,
And this table will play roles of array.

    Vset, VArraySet and VBitSet

Are intended to keep set of RecIDs of selected records.
So this is not what you search for ...
