How can I update an hstore[] field?

Question

I have table products, in which there is an hstore array field countries_of_origin.

So a product that is assembled from multiple products might have multiple countries of origin:

[
  { "country" => "USA" },
  { "country" => "MEX" }
]

My only issue is, I have no idea whatsoever on how to write a SQL update. Our developers interact with the table via an ORM. But I sometimes have to do a mass update for expediency's sake, and I don't know to do it!

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Look at the examples for hstore in the PostgreSQL documentation.

UPDATE tab SET h = h || ARRAY['b => 2'::hstore,'c => 3'::hstore];
