Hello,
Could someone make sense of this for me?
$ /Library/PostgreSQL/9.2/bin/psql -d postgres postgres
psql (9.2.3)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# select 1 = ANY (ARRAY[1,2,3]);
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
postgres=# select 1 = ANY (SELECT ARRAY[1,2,3]);
ERROR: operator does not exist: integer = integer[]
LINE 1: select 1 = ANY (SELECT ARRAY[1,2,3]);
^
HINT: No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You might need to add explicit type casts.
postgres=# select 1 = ANY ((SELECT ARRAY[1,2,3])::int[]);
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
Why do I have to add an explicit cast to int array on something that is an int array to begin with? Based on the error message containing "integer = integer[]" I'd say PostgreSQL manages to figure out the right type anyhow, and ::int[] shouldn't change anything, but I still get a message that doesn't make sense when I have an ANY there.
Thanks,
Michael
