Hi everybody,
I was reading the mails concerning the subject "Check a column value not in Array" and
made a quick test. This is the test table:
test=# select * from values;id | item
- ----+----- 1 | a
2 | b
3 | ab
4 | ac
5 | c
6 | abc
(6 Zeilen)
Now the first select suggested by Filip:
test=# select * from values where item <> ALL ( ARRAY['a', 'b'] );id | item
- ----+------ 3 | ab
4 | ac
5 | c
6 | abc
(4 Zeilen)
=> why is there 'c'?
No the second select suggested by Pavel:
test=# select * from values where item = any(array['a','b']);id | item
- ----+------ 1 | a
2 | b
(2 Zeilen)
=> this seems to be correct but I think it is not the result Emi Lu was expecting - or am
I wrong? Maybe you were looking for this:
test=# select * from values where item <= any(array['a','b']);id | item
- ----+----- 1 | a
2 | b
3 | ab
4 | ac
6 | abc
(5 Zeilen)
Give me all rows, where a or b is in ...
