Hi there,
I'm trying to iterate through arrays in PL/PGSQL:
....
DECLARE
update_query CHAR;
update_query_params CHAR ARRAY[6];
BEGIN
update_query_params[1]:='some text';
RAISE NOTICE 'Testing element %', update_query_params[1];
END
.....
It does not 'compile'... :-(. Can you tell me what is the problem?
Thanks,
Nosy

- use TEXT instead of CHAR (what is CHAR without (n) ?)
- inintialize your array with '{}' because it is created as NULL if you
just declare it without setting it to an empty array.

I think the problem is not there. I got the following error:
'ERROR: syntax error at or near "[" at character 1234', the line is: RAISE
NOTICE '% ...',update_query_params[1];
May be someone give a code sample...
Thanks

The problem here is RAISE, NOTICE, etc. can only use simple variables
in the format string. Try it like:
myTextVar := update_query_params[1];
NOTICE '% ...',myTextVar;
