Subject: plpgsql : looping over multidimensional array : getting NULL for subdimension
Hi all,
I'm trying to loop over a multidimensional array and find if any of the elements in a sub-dimensional array are matching some known criteria but facing issue with NULL for the sub arrays.
I have a data structure that looks like:
some_array VARCHAR[][] := '{{samba,sarath,sreenivas},{samba,mukhesh,pavan}}';
I'm trying to assign the individual sub arrays to other array elements like:
other-array VARCHAR[];
other_array=some_array[1];
and I'm expecting to get '{samba,sarath,sreenivas}' for index 1 and {samba,mukhesh,pavan} for index 2;
however, I'm getting NULL.
Can some one explain the way I can assign subarrays to other array elements plpgsql?
Thanks and Regards,
Samba
