hello,
you have to initialise array before using. Like:
declare a int[] = '{0,0,0,0,0, .................}';
begin
a[10] := 11;
..
reason: older postgresql versions unsuported nulls in array

Hi.
I want to use array for store some values (bytes_in and bytes_out) and
use array index as "id". But I got an errors...
My example function extract traf_id, bytes_in, bytes_out and try to
fill an array, like this
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myf_test() RETURNS void
AS $$
DECLARE
p_tmp RECORD;
p_last_cpnt RECORD;
p_bytes_in bigint[];
p_bytes_out bigint[];
i int;
BEGIN
SELECT * INTO p_last_cpnt FROM nn_cpnt WHERE account_id = 5 ORDER BY
date_time DESC, cpnt_id DESC LIMIT 1;
IF FOUND THEN
FOR p_tmp IN SELECT ttc_id, bytes_in, bytes_out FROM nn_cpnt_traf
WHERE cpnt_id = p_last_cpnt.cpnt_id ORDER BY ttc_id LOOP
--RAISE NOTICE '[%] -> [%] [%]', p_tmp.ttc_id, p_tmp.bytes_in,
p_tmp.bytes_out;
i := p_tmp.ttc_id;
RAISE NOTICE 'i = [%]', i;
p_bytes_in[i] := p_tmp.bytes_in;
p_bytes_out[i] := p_tmp.bytes_out;
RAISE NOTICE 'p_bytes_in[%] = [%] / p_bytes_out[%] = [%]', i,
p_bytes_in[i], i, p_bytes_out[i];
END LOOP;
END IF;
-- ... some work. And I prepare to "INSERT INTO tbl" from my array.
So I iterate through my array (but now I just RAISE NOTICE here).
FOR i IN COALESCE(array_lower(p_bytes_in,1),1) ..
COALESCE(array_upper(p_bytes_in,1),-1) LOOP
RAISE NOTICE 'p_bytes_in[%] = [%] / p_bytes_out[%] = [%]', i,
p_bytes_in[i], i, p_bytes_out[i];
END LOOP;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
But
=# SELECT myf_test();
NOTICE: i = [1]
NOTICE: p_bytes_in[1] = [1907262814] / p_bytes_out[1] = [9308877139]
NOTICE: i = [5]
ERROR: invalid array subscripts
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "myf_test" line 14 at assignment
There are "hole" between 1 and 5, so I think that is the problem... I
try to use temporary table (truncate it always before computations),
but it seems slowly than arrays. I think arrays are less complicated
so they operate faster.
Please, help. Explain me how to use array?
