I have a stored procedure that takes a list of IDs and uses the ANY
operator:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION CalculateTotals(
customerList bytea[],
out total bigint,
out most_recent_login_date date)
AS $$
BEGIN
SELECT
SUM(totalsize), MAX(last_login)
INTO
$2,$3
FROM
customer
WHERE
customerid = ANY($1);
END;
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' STABLE;
I'm using npgsql and C#, and I've realized it doesn't support passing
arrays. Barring things like updating npgsql, what form of hackiness
would work best here?
The customerIDs are GUIDs represented as 16-byte arrays. I can pass
them as encoded strings separated by commas or some such silliness. But
I don't see a nice clean split() function that returns me an array. :-(
I'm trying to find some way to pass a postgres array constructor syntax
and have that evaluated, like ARRAY['binary':bytea,...,...] or
{...,...,...} something like that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
