This still does not work, even in psql:
select 'bob' = any( '{''joe'', ''bob'' }'::varchar[] )
$$ ^ This works for me just fine....though I am not using psql; are
you having quoting issues? What error do you get?
It runs, but it returns false. I get false at least. I'm assuming you
do to, otherwise something weird is going on.
Its the same as if I try to prepare it in psql:
clayia=# prepare x as select 'bob' = any($1::varchar[]); PREPARE
Time: 1.884 ms
clayia=# execute x( 'string_to_array(''joe,bob'', '','')' );
$$ ^ Why do you have single-quotes surrounding "string_to_array";
the EXECUTE now sees the entire literal 'string_to_array....' as a single
scalar value and thus does not resolve the function call into an array.
Because it simulates how php is actually running the function. I
prepare the statement, and pass it a string.
execute x( 'string_to_array(''joe,bob'', '','')' );
That simulates pass a single string. It also results in the same
error's that php is getting... so I just assumed I was testing it correct.
Without the string works fine... but that's not how php works.
execute x( string_to_array('joe,bob', ',') );
You should have the same problem in java, if you:
q = databaseFactory.queryFactory.prepare("select 'bob' =
any($1::varchar[])");
:-) just kidding
Then when you execute it, you have to pass the argument as a string:
q.execute("{'joe','bob'}");
yeah, I'm thinking the execute param step is not running the param
through the entire parse/analyze/whatnot step, so I cannot use functions.
Eh, well, the input is from a website, so wanted to use prepared queries
as much as possible, but I'll just pg_escape all the strings and cat
them all into the sql statement itself.
Ok, nevermind, just got Tom's email. Double Quotes...
Thanks for the help,
