Hi,
I have two arrays which I need to combine based on the individual values;
i could do a coalesce for each field but was wondering if there is an easier way

array_a{a,   null,c,   d,null,f,null}  primary
array_b{null,2   ,null,4,5   ,6,null}  secondary
 
result {a,   2,   c,   d,5,   f,null)

Any advice would be appreciated

Are the inputs always of fixed dimensions eg. 1 by 7?

create or replace function tt( a1 int[], a2 int[])
returns int[] as $$
declare
        aret int[];
        asize int;
begin
     select array_length(a1,1) into asize;
     for i in 1..asize loop
          aret[i] = coalesce(a1[i], a2[i]);
     end loop;
     return aret;
end;

$$ language plpgsql;

select * from tt(array[3,null], array[null,4]);
  tt  
-------
 {3,4}
(1 row)
