                        Error when trying to read values from Postgresql for array type column
What language are you using?
Python.
What version are you using?
3.9
What database are you using?
PostgreSQL
What dataframe are you using?
Pandas
Can you describe your bug?
I am trying to read values from Postgresql using connectorx into a pandas dataframe but it is throwing the following error.
df=cx.read_sql(connect_string, q) File "C:\Users\palak\anaconda3\envs\brmv\lib\site-packages\connectorx_init_.py", line 224, in read_sql result = _read_sql( pyo3_runtime.PanicException: not implemented: _text
What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?
Read a column that holds a text array using connectorx
Database setup if the error only happens on specific data or data type
This is happening as the columns named 'buckets' and 'sizes' hold a text array.

Example query / code
    df = pd.DataFrame()
    connect_string = "postgres://otjoiayz:[email protected]/otjoiayz"
    q = "SELECT id, title, gender, product_type, buckets, sizes FROM products"
    df=cx.read_sql(connect_string, q)
What is the error?

Encountered the same problem. See https://github.com/sfu-db/connector-x/blob/f1d4e5f985f107f4c1cd52a10f668e9ee0be182e/connectorx/src/transports/postgres_arrow.rs#L36-L66
current implementation of pg to arrow data types conversion does not seem to support nested types at all. So types like int[] float[] varchar[] will also cause panics.
And here's the arrow2 implementation, the Vec types are present. https://github.com/sfu-db/connector-x/blob/f1d4e5f985f107f4c1cd52a10f668e9ee0be182e/connectorx/src/transports/postgres_arrow2.rs#L36-L74
Could try with arrow2 backend.
