Hello

I seen nice trick based on window function http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11700930/how-can-i-trim-a-text-array-in-postgresql

but isn't it example of wrong evaluation? Result of row_number is not correct

Looks right to me.  I guess the way to get the row_number they're after out of the result set would involve changing OVER () to OVER (ORDER BY unnest(myTextArrayColumn))


The better way would be to perform the unnest in a sub-select then attach the row number in the outer select.
