Good morning,
I've have solved my problem in another way, but I am curious as to why I am getting the following error.
The following returns a boolean value a expected:
development=# SELECT LENGTH(ARRAY_TO_STRING( REGEXP_MATCHES('12-70510','^[0-9,0-9.0-9]+')
development(# , ',')
development(# ) =
development-# LENGTH('12-70510')
development-#
development-# AS "12-70510";
12-70510
----------------
f
(1 row)
But if I put the comparison into a CASE or WHERE clause I get this error:
development=# SELECT CASE
development-# WHEN LENGTH(ARRAY_TO_STRING( REGEXP_MATCHES('12-70510','^[0-9,0-9.0-9]+')
development(# , ',')
development(# )
development-# = LENGTH('12-70510')
development-#
development-# THEN ARRAY_TO_STRING( REGEXP_MATCHES('12-70510','^[0-9,0-9.0-9]+')
development(# , ',')
development-#
development-# ELSE ''
development-# END AS "12-70510";
ERROR: argument of CASE/WHEN must not return a set
LINE 2: WHEN LENGTH(ARRAY_TO_STRING( REGEXP_MATCHES('12...
What am I missing?
Thanks,
George
