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.

-----------------------------------------

I execute the following:

SELECT 'bob' = ANY( '{ "joe", "bob" }'::varchar[] );

And it returns TRUE...

This returns FALSE:

SELECT 'bob' = ANY( '{ "joe", "dave" }'::varchar[] );

Yeah, that uses the correct double quotes... which I was not using.



So:

prepare x as select 'bob' = any(string_to_array($1, ',')::varchar[]);
execute x ('joe,bob,billy');

Ah, that's a good idea, I hadn't thought of that. Always another way to skin a cat.

Thanks again,
