I have a function that returns bigint[] and would like to be able to compare a bigint to the result.

 

freeload=> select fn_descendents('trip'::varchar,61::bigint);
          fn_descendents

freeload=> select 935::bigint in (select fn_descendents('trip'::varchar,61::bigint));

This is probably super obvious but I'm not getting it right now.

 

Thank you all in advance!
