Hi Dmytro
I think your query is using row query syntax, the same as
=> select row(1,2);
row
-------
(1,2)
in Postgres (which is not a common thing to want to do).
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-expressions.html#SQL-SYNTAX-ROW-CONSTRUCTORS
If you want to select an array from Postgres, you need different syntax,
e.g.
=> select array[1,2];
array
-------
{1,2}
(1 row)
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/arrays.htmlttps://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/sql-expressions.html#SQL-SYNTAX-ROW-CONSTRUCTORS
In psycopg2:
In [1]: import psycopg2
In [2]: conn = psycopg2.connect(dbname='template1', user='dbuser', password='xxx')
In [3]: c = conn.cursor()
In [5]: c.execute("select array[1,2] as ar")
In [6]: c.fetchone()
Out[6]: ([1, 2],)
In [7]: from psycopg2.extras import NamedTupleCursor
In [8]: c = conn.cursor(cursor_factory=NamedTupleCursor)
In [9]: c.execute("select array[1,2] as ar")
In [10]: c.fetchone()
Out[10]: Record(ar=[1, 2])
I put in the NamedTupleCursor example in there as I find it invaluable.
Kind regards
Rory
