Hello
create or replace function eqn(anyarray, anyarray, int)
returns boolean as $$
select not exists(select $1[i] from generate_series(1,$3) g(i)
except
select $2[i] from generate_series(1,$3) g(i))
$$ language sql immutable strict;
postgres=# select eqn(array[1,2,3,4,5], array[1,2,3,5,6], 3);
eqn
-----
t
(1 row)
Time: 1,590 ms
postgres=# select eqn(array[1,2,3,4,5], array[1,2,3,5,6], 4);
eqn
-----
f
(1 row)
