Well,
this is completely different from the first case,
because for Postgres, "2,3,4" is just a string rather than a set
of numbers
(as in select id from b_table).
Sure, you could solve your problem with stuff like
- Build your query-String, then Execute this
- Parse your "2,3,4" String
But its better if you have the correct data in b_table,
that is, only one id in a given row (this is the first step
of a process called "Normalization". If you have more than one
value in a given row/column pair, you will have a lot more problems
than just this one.
