Hi,
I'm trying the following query:
select array_agg(t1.id) from table1 t1 join table2 t2 on (t2.id = any(array_agg)) group by t1.col1;
but I get this error: ERROR: column "array_agg" does not exist
I tried aliasing array_agg(t1.id) without success.
Thanks for any suggestions,

I can't really understand what you want to achieve, but maybe this is
what you are looking for:
test=*# select * from a;
id | v
----+---
1 | 1
2 | 1
3 | 1
4 | 1
5 | 2
6 | 2
(6 rows)
test=*# select * from b;
id
----
1
3
(2 rows)
test=*# select array_agg(a.id), v from a join b on (b.id in (select a.id from a)) group by a.v;
array_agg | v
-------------------+---
{1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4} | 1
{6,5,5,6} | 2
(2 rows)
Question: you are 'pif' in the irc-channel?
Regards, Andreas

Here is a test case I built. I want to list all cruises by cruise_type
but after merging cruise_type that have the same cruise_type_name:
drop table cruise;
drop table cruise_type;
create table cruise_type (
id_cruise_type serial primary key,
cruise_type_name text
);
create table cruise (
id_cruise serial,
id_cruise_type integer references cruise_type,
cruise_date timestamp default now()
);
insert into cruise_type (cruise_type_name) values
('5 day eastern carribean cruise'),
('5 day western carribean cruise'),
('5 day eastern carribean cruise'),
('5 day western carribean cruise')
;
insert into cruise (id_cruise_type) values
(1),
(2),
(3),
(4),
(1),
(2),
(3),
(4)
;
select array_agg(ct.id_cruise_type),ct.cruise_type_name from cruise_type ct join cruise c on (c.id_cruise = any(array_agg)) group by cruise_type_name;

You dont specify (in english) what you exactly want to achive, but here is my shot:
1st, get the cruises by cruise type:
select ct.id_cruise_type,array_agg(c.id_cruise) as "List of Cruises" from cruise_type ct, cruise c WHERE c.id_cruise_type=ct.id_cruise_type GROUP BY ct.id_cruise_type ORDER BY ct.id_cruise_type;
id_cruise_type | List of Cruises
----------------+-----------------
1 | {1,5}
2 | {2,6}
3 | {3,7}
4 | {4,8}
(4 rows)
test=#
Then you may pretify this to include the name of each cruise type as well:
select ct.id_cruise_type,ct.cruise_type_name,array_agg(c.id_cruise) as "List of Cruises" from cruise_type ct, cruise c WHERE c.id_cruise_type=ct.id_cruise_type GROUP BY ct.id_cruise_type,ct.cruise_type_name ORDER BY ct.id_cruise_type;
id_cruise_type | cruise_type_name | List of Cruises
----------------+--------------------------------+-----------------
1 | 5 day eastern carribean cruise | {1,5}
2 | 5 day western carribean cruise | {2,6}
3 | 5 day eastern carribean cruise | {3,7}
4 | 5 day western carribean cruise | {4,8}
(4 rows)
EXERCISE:
Why cant we exclude ct.id_cruise_type from the select clause and group by of the above query?
