With XML similar to: < a > < b > < c > 1 </ c > < c > 2 </ c > < c > 3 </ c > </ b >
I'm trying to create an xpath expression (for a postgresql query) that will return if is a particular value and not that is all three values. What I currently have (which does not work) is: select * from someTable where xpath ('//uim:a/text()', job, ARRAY[ ARRAY['uim',' http://www.cmpy.com/uim '] ])::text[] IN (ARRAY['1','3']); If I try with ARRAY['1'] this will not return any values but with ARRAY['1','2','3'] it will return all three. How can I select based on a single element in a sequence? Thanks.
