Thread: operator contains in older Pgsql

I need a functionality of "@>" array operator in 8.1 Pg server. i.ex.
SELECT * FROM table WHERE array_col @> ARRAY ['xxx']  (works in 8.2, 
error in 8.1)
How to performe such a query ?  Is it possible ? Thanks for help.

thanks, it works ... and when there is more elements in array: i.ex
SELECT * FROM table WHERE array_col @> ARRAY ['xxx', 'yyy']
i need to
SELECT * FROM table WHERE 'xxx' = ANY( array_col ) AND 'yyy' = ANY( 
array_col )
is that correct ?
