Re: How to remove an item from integer array type

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry,

It's not ordered by value. It's not sorted list unfortunately. It can be '{100, 120, 102, 130, 104}'.

Do you have other suggestion?

Thank you,

Assuming you want to keep the values in numeric order, add an ORDER BY:

update tableA set f2 = (select array_agg(X.id) from (select unnest(f2)
id except select 101 id ORDER BY id) X) where f1 = 1;
