Thread: array element replace ?

array element replace ?

From
"Gauthier, Dave"

Is there a clever way to replace a single element in an array with another value?

 

E.g.

 

x = array[‘a’,’b’,’c’,’d’];

 

I want to replace ‘b’ with ‘x’.

 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Not sure you can replace an array value with an array (which kind of is
what you're asking in your example),  but:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/arrays.html
Specifically section
