Postgresql Select rows where column = array

SELECT  *
FROM    table
WHERE   some_id = ANY(ARRAY[1, 2])

or ANSI-compatible:

SELECT  *
FROM    table
WHERE   some_id IN (1, 2)

The ANY syntax is preferred because the array as a whole can be passed in a bound variable:

SELECT  *
FROM    table
WHERE   some_id = ANY(?::INT[])

You would need to pass a string representation of the array: {1,2}


For dynamic SQL use:

'IN(' ||array_to_string(some_array, ',')||')'

Example

DO LANGUAGE PLPGSQL $$

DECLARE
    some_array bigint[];
    sql_statement text;

BEGIN

    SELECT array[1, 2] INTO some_array;
    RAISE NOTICE '%', some_array;

    sql_statement := 'SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column IN(' ||array_to_string(some_array, ',')||')';
    RAISE NOTICE '%', sql_statement;

END;

$$;

Result: NOTICE: {1,2} NOTICE: SELECT * FROM my_table WHERE my_column IN(1,2)
