Well easiest way to do that is to create a single String where the values from array will be separated by some separator for example semicolon so you will get "one;two;three" this string you will store in database as a text, then when you read it back you need to parse it again to get an array of Strings. I am originally C# programmer there i would do serialization to XML and store it into database try looking here http://iharder.sourceforge.net/current/java/xmlizable/ they are creating XML Serializer.
