title: How to store array of smallint in DB2
body: <p>I need to keep indefinite number of smallints in a column. <br>
  This column may keep only one or few numbers as in [1], [2,100] or up to a couple thousand numbers.<br><br>My first thought was keeping them varchar with comma seperation but that makes column too large (even over limit i believe). <br>Then i think i coul use clob, but this also not a good choice in my opinion since my real data is not string but numbers<br><br>
  Now, i am aware that it might be better normalize this and keep them in seperate rows, but i want to know if there is an effective way to do it so i can evaluate my choices.<br>
  I did try to search this but couldnt find anything fulfills my need. <br><br>
  Thanks for help in advance</p>
