It isn't clear from your question if you want this:

select string_to_array('1,2,3'::varchar,',')::int[];
string_to_array
-----------------
{1,2,3}
(1 row)

or this:

select array['1'::varchar]::int[];
array
-------
{1}
(1 row)

or this:

select array(select '1'::varchar)::int[];
int4
------
{1}
(1 row)

or maybe this:

select ('{}'::varchar[] || '1'::varchar)::int[];
int4
------
{1}
(1 row)

Please provide more detail on what you need to accomplish.

Joe
