Rows From but with Subqueries (or a cleaner non-array-using alternative)?

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

 



Hi!

In the following query I ended up using unnest(array(subquery)) in order to pair up the rows with starting indices and the rows with ending indices.  This is exactly what "FROM ROWS FROM (function)" would do but alas I have a subquery.  In the target list I have to use scalar subqueries so doing this directly there is a no-go.  Hence the array intermediary.  Am I missing/forgetting some feature that can do this without the intermediate array?

Thanks!
