Thread: setof or array as input parameter to postgresql 8.2 functions
Hi,
I have to pass a set of values and arrays in postgresql 8.2 functions. But I am not getting any help on that. Please let me know if any one has idea.
Thanks,
Jyoti
Hello maybe: create function foo(varchar[][]) returns void as $$ begin end$$ language plpgsql; postgres=# select foo(array[array[1,2], array[2,2]]::varchar[][]); foo ----- (1 row) Regards Pavel Stehule 2007/6/13, Jyoti Seth <jyotiseth2001@gmail.com>: > > > > > Hi, > > > > I have to pass a set of values and arrays in postgresql 8.2 functions.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sample(avalue integer, anarray text[]) RETURNS void LANGUAGE plpgsql STRICT AS $$DECLARE i integer; BEGIN -- I can access the value i := avalue; -- I can access the array i := anarray[2]; END;$$; Called like SELECT sample(3, ARRAY[1, 2, 3]); Yours, Laurenz Albe
Thanks for the solution. With this I am able to pass arrays and multidimensional arrays in postgresql functions. One of my problem is still left I want to pass set of values with different datatypes.For eg: I want to pass following values to the function: 1 ajay 1000.12 2 rita 2300.24 3 leena 1230.78 4 jaya 3432.45 As the values have different data types I have to create three different arrays. Is there any way with which I can pass this as a single setof values.

You have to wait for 8.3 where arrays on composite types are supported.
Currently in one our application we use array of arrays where different
types are too, and we cast it to text.
