Subject: How to loop though an array plpgsql?
Date: Fri, 29 Jul 2005 15:39:12 -0800
Message-ID: <42EABE20.6040805@aptalaska.net> (raw)

I need to loop though an input array, but can't figure out how to do it,
the docs aren't really clear on this.

Something like this:

CREATE FUNCTION update (_id INTEGER[])
RETURNS VOID AS
$$
BEGIN

  FOR i IN SELECT _id LOOP
    INSERT INTO table VALUES (_id[i]);
  END LOOP;

END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Anyone know the correct loop syntax?
