CREATE TYPE CUSTOMSTRINGARRAY AS VARCHAR(1000) ARRAY[VARCHAR(1000)];

returns VARCHAR(1000)
ARRAYDEMO: BEGIN
DECLARE arraySymbols CUSTOMSTRINGARRAY;
DECLARE out_str,item,str VARCHAR(1000);
DECLARE i,occ INT;
SET i = 1;
set item = '';
set str = inputString;
set occ = LENGTH(inputString) - LENGTH(REPLACE(inputString,splitor,''));
WHILE i <= occ DO
set item = substr(str,1,LOCATE_IN_STRING(str,splitor,1));
set str = replace(str,item,'');
SET arraySymbols[i] = TRIM(replace(item,splitor,''));
SET i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
set arraySymbols[i] = str;
return(arraySymbols[pos]);
end;
