array's subscripts.
Pavel Stehule, some editorialization by me.

Arrays
+ Alternatively, the generate_subscripts function can be used.
+ For example:
+
+SELECT * FROM
+ (SELECT pay_by_quarter,
+ generate_subscripts(pay_by_quarter, 1) AS s
+ FROM sal_emp) AS foo
+ WHERE pay_by_quarter[s] = 10000;
+
+
+ This function is described in .
+
+
Arrays are not sets; searching for specific array elements

Functions and Operators
This section describes functions that possibly return more than one row.
Currently the only functions in this class are series generating functions,

Subscripts Generating Functions
+
+
+ |
+ Function
+ Return Type
+ Description
+
+
+
+
+ |
+
generate_subscripts(array annyarray, dim int)+ setof int
+
+ Generate a series comprising the given array's subscripts.
+
+
+
+ |
+
generate_subscripts(array annyarray, dim int, reverse boolean)+ setof int
+
+ Generate a series comprising the given array's subscripts. When
+
reverse is true, the series is returned in
+ reverse order.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Zero rows are returned for arrays that do not have the requested dimension,
+ or for NULL arrays (but valid subscripts are returned for NULL array
+ elements.) Some examples follow:
+-- basic usage
+select generate_subscripts('{NULL,1,NULL,2}'::int[], 1) as s;
+ s
+---
+ 1
+ 2
+ 3
+ 4
+(4 rows)
+
+-- presenting an array, the subscript and the subscripted
+-- value requires a subquery
+select * from arrays;
+ a
+--------------------
+ {-1,-2}
+ {100,200}
+(2 rows)
+
+select a as array, s as subscript, a[s] as value
+from (select generate_subscripts(a, 1) as s, a from arrays) foo;
+ array | subscript | value
+-----------+-----------+-------
+ {-1,-2} | 1 | -1
+ {-1,-2} | 2 | -2
+ {100,200} | 1 | 100
+ {100,200} | 2 | 200
+(4 rows)
+
+-- unnest a 2D array
+create or replace function unnest2(anyarray)
+returns setof anyelement as $$
+select $1[i][j]
+ from generate_subscripts($1,1) g1(i),
+ generate_subscripts($1,2) g2(j);
