Dear all, What is the correct way to check whether an array is empty? I have an array which I initialize with '{}' and then do som array_append under some circonstances. I would like to know whether the array is empty at the end of the function. I have not found the answer in the help page nor on the web. I use the keyword isnull but that does not seem to work in all the cases. I would appreciate if someone could put this piece of information into the Postgres documentation. Here is what I do, in pseudo-code: myarray varchar[]; myarray := '{}'; FOR ___ LOOP IF (___) THEN myarray := array_append(myarray, somestuff); END IF; END LOOP; -- Is my array empty now? IF (myarray isnull) THEN __ END IF; Regards, Alexis Beuraud ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
