Предлагам ви да надстроите вашата версия на Postgres. Всички поддържани версии поддържат unnest()
:
SELECT x.*
FROM (SELECT id, UNNEST(selected_placements) as selected_placement
FROM app_data.content_cards
) x
WHERE selected_placement IS NOT NULL;
В по-ранните версии можете да се стремите да ги избирате един по един. Следното е тествано и работи, макар и в 9.5:
with content_cards as (
select 1 as id, array['a', 'b', 'c'] as selected_placements
)
SELECT id, selected_placements[num] as selected_placement
FROM (SELECT cc.*, generate_series(1, ccup.maxup) as num
FROM content_cards cc CROSS JOIN
(SELECT MAX(ARRAY_UPPER(cc.selected_placements, 1)) as maxup
FROM content_cards cc
) ccup
) x
WHERE selected_placements[num] IS NOT NULL;
