PostgreSQL: How to pass and array to a function and using it in a query with the IN operator

Question

I have a problem, I want to pass an array to a postgres function and use that array so returns values in a SELECT IN clause.

But It shows me this error:

An error occurred executing the SQL command :
SELECT
      *
  FROM
      get_invtransferences_porders_fporders (300001300 , array [ 300093753 , 300094126 , 300093349 , 300093838 , 300094128 ] ...

ERROR: operator does not exist : integer = integer [ ]
  Hint : No operator matches the name and type of arguments. You may need to add explicit type conversions .
  Where : PL / pgSQL get_invtransferences_porders_fporders (numeric , integer []) function on line 8 FOR loop around rows of a SELECT

This is my function:

    END LOOP;
    RETURN;         
END;
$body$
 VOLATILE
 COST 100
 ROWS 1000

I think the error it here `invtransferences.id IN (P_INVTRANSFERENCES_IDS)

This is the select that calls the function:

SELECT  
      *
  FROM 
      get_invtransferences_porders_fporders(300001300 , array[300093753, 300094126, 300093349, 300093838, 300094128] )
  AS
  (
       "operation_type" varchar,
       "porder_id" numeric,
       "porder_user_id" numeric,
       "porder_user_name" varchar,
       "porder_delivery_datetime" date,
       "product_requested" numeric,
       "product_produced" numeric,
       "product_code" varchar,
       "product_name" varchar,
       "component_product_name" varchar,
       "component_quantity" numeric,
       "component_um_id" varchar,
       "total" numeric
   )
  ORDER BY
      "porder_id";

EDIT: I remove the VARIADIC words that were in the function and in the select that calls the function

Can you hep me Please.

You don't need to declare your function as VARIADIC to pass array to it.

Try this

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xxx(
    p_product_id integer,
    P_INVTRANSFERENCES_IDS integer[])
  RETURNS SETOF record
  LANGUAGE sql
AS
$body$
    select p_product_id = ANY(P_INVTRANSFERENCES_IDS)
$body$;

Note there is no VARIADIC before P_INVTRANSFERENCES_IDS.

You also need to use ANY instead of IN to check membership in array.

I thnik the problem is here AND invtransferences.id IN (P_INVTRANSFERENCES_IDS

juanpscotto Over a year ago

Awesome!!! Thanks!! whats the difference between IN and ANY(). In the docs says IN is equivalent to = ANY.

PG manual has quite readable explanation in 9.23. Row and Array Comparisons. Also arrays are often much faster.
