Hello I am trying the following:
a INTEGER[] := ''{10,15,20}'';
b INTEGER := 15;
flag BOOLEAN := FALSE;

SELECT b IN (a) INTO flag; !!! does not work

Is it legal to expect the array to be interpret as
list of integers which IN expression takes ?

Best Regards
Emil kafegiiski

Sorry, i can't understand your query.

Perhaps you are searchfing for something like:

test=# select * from foo;
    a    | b | flag
---------+---+------
 {1,2,3} | 1 | t
 {5,6,7} | 1 | t
(2 rows)

test=# select * from foo where b = any(a);
    a    | b | flag
---------+---+------
 {1,2,3} | 1 | t
(1 row)

Please read http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/arrays.html
to learn more about arrays.

contrib/intarray and
SELECT intset(b) ~ a::int[] INTO flag;
are your friends.

No.  But try "b = any (a)".
