[GENERAL] GENERAL - [How to check if the array contains the element.]

From

Hello All,

    How do i check if any one element of one array exists in another array.
    Eg:
        array1 = [1,2,3,4]
        array2 = [1,4,5,7]
    Now i expect the result as true even if any one element matches from array2 in array1.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

You can use the overlap - operator:

test=*# select array[1,2,3,4] && array[1,4,5,7];
  ?column?
----------
  t
(1 Zeile)

test=*# select array[1,2,3,4] && array[10,40,50,70];
  ?column?
----------
  f
(1 Zeile)

or subset

postgres=# select array[1,2,3,4] @> array[1,3,2,4];
┌──────────┐
│ ?column? │
╞══════════╡
│ t        │
└──────────┘
(1 row)
