Thanks. Nearly perfect. Now I've to understand what a {} is. An array with a null element? an empty array? an array containing ''? Since I can't where lexemes<>'{}'::text[] and variations. select token, lexemes from ts_debug('pg_catalog.english', 'a cat eaten on the net set eat seat ate late things' ) where array_upper(lexemes,1)>=1; The above works as expected so it should be an empty array. select token, lexemes from ts_debug('pg_catalog.english', 'a cat eaten on the net set eat seat ate late things' ) where lexemes<>'{}'::text[]; This doesn't (?) I did google and I've found some of your answers about empty arrays but none worked "embedded" directly in the sql statement. variations of this still don't work: create or replace function zsetweight(out _tsquery text) as $$ declare _tsdebug record; _tmp text[]:='{}'; begin _tsquery:=''; for _tsdebug in select token from ts_debug('pg_catalog.english', 'a cat eaten on the net set eat seat ate late things' ) where lexemes<>_tmp loop _tsquery:=coalesce(_tsquery,'') || ' | ' || coalesce(_tsdebug.token,''); end loop; return; end; $$ language plpgsql immutable; select * from zsetweight(); -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
