There seems to be inadequate info on filling
arrays from a table, (vs keyboarding), and how to do a lookup in an array. I've tried to almost no avail. - - - - - - - I have a loop that I'm executing thousands of times and inside of it I have SELECT INTO myvar column1 FROM mytable WHERE column2 = somevalue ; I'm trying to use an array lookup, ala this, that I found in the manual ANY/SOME (array) _expression_ operator ANY (array _expression_) But I'm a newbie to arrays, so I've tried DECLARE myarray VARCHAR[] := array['''',''''] ; then in the body SELECT INTO myarray ARRAY[column1, column2] from mytable ; I've discovered via trial and error that the above arrayification works on a simple SQL query without variables. How can I go about getting a simple variable out of that array on a match on another column? This query executing thousands of times is killing me! Thanks, Ralph |
