postgres extract int array from text










0















I have the following postgresql statement:



SELECT 1 = ANY( jsonb_array_elements_text('[2, 1, 3]') );


Basically I have a string which contains an array of integers seperated by comma, like: [1, 2, 3] and sometimes this array could be empty too, like: . Now, I want to write a query (as part of a bigger query) where I would be able to find out if an element is matching any integers in the text. For example:



SELECT 1 = ANY( jsonb_array_elements_text('[2, 1, 3]') ); -- Should return true
SELECT 1 = ANY( jsonb_array_elements_text('') ); -- should return false


However, the above query fails with an error message:



ERROR: op ANY/ALL (array) requires array on right side
LINE 1: SELECT 1 = ANY( jsonb_array_elements_text('[2, 1, 3]') );


Any help how I can extract an integer array out of a text so that I can use it in a join condition ?



I am using postgres 9.4 if it matters.

  • This would be a lot easier with a native integer array rather than JSON: 1 = any(array[1,2,3])

  • Yes, no doubt. But this is part of a bigger query and so I have simplified here for brevity.
