Hi,
I'm trying to get the array position for a given match as thus:
This gets me the record for a given match:
SELECT * FROM garmin_units WHERE 'L' = ANY (protocol_tag);
Ok. so far so good...
But what about getting the array position at which 'L' is stored?
Searching the Postgresql docs gives me no answer... :(
Am I on a wild goose chase?
Any insight highly appreciated ;)
BR,
Pedro Doria Meunier.

I wrote this a while ago. If you are on 8.4 use unnest instead. And if
you are searching thru really big arrays, use plpgsql so you can
terminate when you find a match.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION idx(text[], text)
RETURNS int AS
$$
SELECT MIN(CASE WHEN $1[i] = $2 THEN i
ELSE NULL END)::int
FROM generate_series(array_lower($1, 1),
array_upper($1, 1)) i;
$$
LANGUAGE 'sql' IMMUTABLE STRICT;
