如何在 Postgres 检查数组是否为空

我有一个 Postgres 函数:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_stats(
_start_date timestamp with time zone,
_stop_date timestamp with time zone,
id_clients integer[],
OUT date timestamp with time zone,
OUT profit,
OUT cost
)
RETURNS SETOF record
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
DECLARE
query varchar := '';
BEGIN
... -- lot of code
IF id_clients IS NOT NULL THEN
query := query||' AND id = ANY ('||quote_nullable(id_clients)||')';
END IF;
... -- other code
END;
$$;

因此，如果我运行 query，如下所示:

SELECT * FROM get_stats('2014-07-01 00:00:00Etc/GMT-3'
, '2014-08-06 23:59:59Etc/GMT-3', '{}');

生成的查询具有以下条件:

"... AND id = ANY('{}')..."

但是，如果数组为空，则不应在查询中表示此条件。
如何检查客户端数组是否为空？

我还尝试了两种变体:

IF ARRAY_UPPER(id_clients) IS NOT NULL THEN
query := query||' AND id = ANY ('||quote_nullable(id_clients)||')';
END IF;

还有:

IF ARRAY_LENGTH(id_clients) THEN
query := query||' AND id = ANY ('||quote_nullable(id_clients)||')';
END IF;

在这两种情况下，我都得到了这个错误: ARRAY_UPPER(ARRAY_LENGTH) doesn't exists;

array_length() requires two parameters, the second being the dimension of the array:

array_length(id_clients, 1) > 0

So:

IF array_length(id_clients, 1) > 0 THEN
query := query || format(' AND id = ANY(%L))', id_clients);
END IF;

This excludes both empty array and NULL.

Or use cardinality() in Postgres 9.4 or later. See added answer by @bronzenose.

But if you're concatenating a query to run with EXECUTE, it would be smarter to pass values with a USING clause. Examples:

BTW, to explicitly check whether an array is empty (like your title says - but that's not what you need here) just compare it to an empty array:

id_clients = '{}'

That's all. You get:

TRUE .. array is empty
NULL .. array is NULL
FALSE .. any other case (array has elements - even if just NULL elements)

if for some reason you don't want to supply the dimension of the array, cardinality will return 0 for an empty array:

From the docs:

cardinality(anyarray) returns the total number of elements in the array, or 0 if the array is empty

Below example accepts array values, NULL or empty string as query parameter. Some frameworks result in an SQL error when you try to pass NULL as query parameter and you send an empty string instead.

The query checks if array-parameter is empty using json mapping:

SELECT CAST(ARRAY_TO_JSON(ARRAY[:myArrayParameter]) AS VARCHAR) IN ('[null]', '[""]')

One way to check if the array is empty would be with array_ndims which returns the number of dimensions of the array, if the array is empty it will return 0. I'm working with version 11 postgresql.

$$
DECLARE


IDS_PATROCINADOR_RED_0 INTEGER[] := ARRAY []::INTEGER[];
IDS                        INTEGER;
BEGIN


IF array_ndims(IDS_PATROCINADOR_RED_0) > 0 THEN
IDS = array_length(ARRAY []::INTEGER, 1);
ELSE
IDS = 0 ;
end if;
RAISE NOTICE '%', IDS;
END

$$;

output:

[2020-04-22 11:06:22] [00000] 0

[2020-04-22 11:06:22] completed in 143 ms

I had this problem in spring boot project with postgresql.

I had an array list parameter which can be null or empty, and if it's empty you should ignore it.

This solved everything. In repository check if list is empty or not, and pass null is it's empty, otherwise you will have error:

private static final String IDs = "Ids";
private static final String HAS_IDs = "hasIds";


...
parameters.addValue(IDs, CollectionUtils.isEmpty(params.getIds()) ? null : params.getIds());

Make a boolean paramener which says if list is empty or not:

parameters.addValue(HAS_IDs, !CollectionUtils.isEmpty(params.getIds()));

In SQL use this:

select * from table_name where
:hasIds = false or id in (:Ids)
