PostgreSQL 9.1 - iteration over array
I finished patch that enable iteration over array. I hope so new syntax can helps to better readability. There are a few samples from regress tests:
create or replace function fora_test() returns int as $$ declare x int; s int = 0; begin for x in array array[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] loop s := s + x; end loop; return s; end; $$ language plpgsql; select fora_test(); create or replace function subscripts(anyarray, int) returns int[] as $$ select array(select generate_subscripts($1,$2)); $$ language sql; create or replace function fora_test() returns int as $$ declare x int; s int = 0; a int[] := array[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]; begin for x in array subscripts(a, 1) loop s := s + a[x]; end loop; return s; end; $$ language plpgsql; create or replace function fora_test() returns int as $$ declare x record; a fora_point[] := array[(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)]; begin for x in array a loop raise notice 'point=%', x.x; end loop; return 0; end; $$ language plpgsql; select fora_test(); create or replace function fora_test() returns int as $$ declare x int; y int; a fora_point[] := array[(1,2),(3,4),(5,6)]; begin for x, y in array a loop raise notice 'point=%,%', x, y; end loop; return 0; end; $$ language plpgsql;
