Re: Dynamic Array into pl/pgSQL function

Okay...

I have tried this: AND caseId = ANY (ListOfNumbers)
and get this error "parser: parse error at or near "$2" at character 1060"
I have tried this: AND caseId = ANY (ListOfNumbers[])
and get this error "parser: parse error at or near "$2" at character 1060"
I have tried this: AND caseId = ANY (SELECT ListOfNumbers[])
and get this error "parser: parse error at or near "]" at character 1071"

The function only works when I assign an array element such as "ListOfNumbers
[1]". In this case it works, however now I have lost the intent of the
function using all the numbers in the array. This method only uses one.

Is there a way to extract all of the elements from the array, no matter the
size of the array?

Thanks,
Derrick
