Well, you can either
  SELECT * FROM somewhere JOIN (SELECT id FROM result GROUP BY id) AS
a USING (id);

        It's the same thing (and postgres knows it)

You might want to use PL to store values, say PLperl, or even C, say:

        I tried.
The problem is that you need a set-returning function to retrieve the values. SRFs don't have rowcount estimates, so the plans suck.

Should work faster than a in-application solution :)

        Should, but don't, because of what I said above...

With the version in CVS tip, supprting a fast =ANY( array ), this should be doable, though.
