FYI, I tested your query in 8.3.X CVS and it worked so this fix will in
the next 8.3 minor release.

Fantastic - I'll just if/else the query based on db version.
Thanks!

It appears that you could explicitly cast to text and thence to text[]:
select array_to_string(histogram_bounds::text::text[], '-') from ...
but this might be too ugly for
Is there any known workaround to get this the elements of the
histogram_bounds anyarray in 8.3.5. If not, when might I expect a fix?
Just trying to plan our testing/release schedule of rolling out to 8.3
around this problem.
Thanks,

We don't seem to allow that either ...
regression=# select array_to_string(histog
Huh, I didn't realize that ever worked in the past. I thought the way
to do what the op describes was to cast it to text[] or whatever
datatype you from out-of-band knowledge to expect.

Help!
I'm trying to use array_to_string on the pg_stats column
histogram_bounds...
test83=# select array_to_string(histogram_bounds::anyarray, '-') from
pg_stats where attname = 'id' and tablename = 'widgets';
ERROR: argument declared "anyarray" is not an array but type anyarray

If you're being strict it should presumably return NULL for the whole

Hi there,
I used the function array_to_string, and I found it ignores NULL values,
e.g. array_to_string( 'ARRAY[1,NULL,3]', ',' ) returns '1,3'.
The function documentation doesn't explain this case.
So please tell me: is it the normal behavior or a bug ?
TIA,
Sabin
