Thread: Question about the ANY operator

Question about the ANY operator

From
Mike Christensen
Date:
I'm having trouble figuring out the ANY operator..  Basically I want to return rows that match any of the given IDs:

select Name from Users where UserId = ANY ARRAY['948aeda5-ffff-41bd-af4e-71d1c740db76', '5ee315ea-7ef6-4fa5-809a-dc9931a01ed1']::uuid[];

I get the syntax error:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "ARRAY"
LINE 1: ...* from Users where UserId = ANY ARRAY['948...

I know I could just use a bunch of OR clauses, but I want to pass in this array as a variable.  Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

Mike

The syntax is '= ANY(foo)', you're missing the parenthesis.

Have a nice day,

Uggghhh..  Yea I figured that out about 30 seconds before your reply..  I guess it would be way too much trouble for Postgres to just say "Expected parenthesis" or some sort of error that would actually be helpful to noobs like me.

But thanks :)
