Convert json array to character list esql - arrays

I have the following json syntax
{
"PRINTER": "P123",
"ID_INPUT": "111046",
"IDCOUNT": 3,
"TIME": "",
"IDLIST": [{ID_IN": "111046"},{"ID_IN": "111047"}, {"ID_IN": "111048"}]
}
My goal is to iterate over IDLIST and create a character string like "111046;111047;111048" in esql. But I have problems on processing the json. I tried:
DECLARE c INTEGER; -- cardinality
DECLARE i INTEGER 0; -- index
DECLARE idlist CHARACTER '';
-- find cardinality
SET c = CARDINALITY(InputRoot.JSON.Data.IDLIST[]); -- Q1
-- iterate over IDLIST
WHILE i < c DO
-- build new data structure
SET idlist = idlist || InputRoot.JSON.Data.IDLIST[i] || ';'; -- Q2
SET i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
Q1: Is it possible to get the cardinality this way?
Q2: Can I write my data structure like this?
Q3: Is there a better way to do this?

Using cardinality function is not necessary to get the desired string value. Also, cardinality is an expensive(processor intensive) function in IIB esql.
DECLARE idlist CHAR '';
FOR PTR AS InputRoot.JSON.Data.IDLIST.Item[] DO
SET idlist = idlist || PTR.ID_IN || ';' ;
END FOR;
SET idlist = TRIM(TRAILING ';' FROM idlist); --This is to get rid of the last ; in the string

My function with array as parameter does not work

I proceed to specify my question and the solution I gave to the problem, for the benefit of the community.
I was trying to perform a multi-column insert using the identifier with a function.
For which, I was getting an error, my code was the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION acc.asignar_periodo(ids NUMERIC[], periodo INTEGER,codigo_subdiario VARCHAR)
RETURNS void
VOLATILE
AS
$$
DECLARE
cant_registros integer:= 0;
BEGIN
cant_registros := array_length(ids,1);
FOR i IN 1..cant_registros LOOP
EXECUTE'UPDATE '||$3||' SET periodo_tributario = $2 WHERE id = ids[i]';
END LOOP;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
and my query is:
SELECT acc.asignar_periodo('{2291,2292,2293,2294,2295,2296,2297,2298,2299,2300,2301,2302}'::NUMERIC[],201612,'_08');
My solution was the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION acc.asignar_periodo(INTEGER[],INTEGER,INTEGER) RETURNS text VOLATILE AS
$$
DECLARE
qty integer:= array_length($1,1);
respuesta varchar := null;
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..qty LOOP
EXECUTE'UPDATE _'||$3||' SET periodo_tributario = '||$2||' WHERE id = '||$1[i];
END LOOP;
respuesta := 'Periodo '||$2||' asignado a '||qty||' comprobantes del subdiario '||$3;
RETURN respuesta;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Note the correction, since when using EXECUTE it is necessary that the arguments escape the statements
There is no to loop needed to process the array. Postgres will process the entry array at once. After all set processing is what SQL is all about. Get into the mindset that whenever you write loop, likely incorrect and much slower. (Yes there occasions where it is necessary, but very few.) So: (see demo)
create or replace function asignar_periodo(ids numeric[], periodo integer,codigo_subdiario varchar)
returns void
language plpgsql
as $$
declare
stmt constant text = 'update %I set periodo_tributario = %s where id = any (''%s'')';
torun text;
begin
--torun = format(stmt, $3, $2, $1); -- this would work but
torun = format(stmt, codigo_subdiario, periodo, ids); -- I perfer parameter names to position reference
raise notice '%', torun;
execute torun;
end ;

How do I call a declared array variable in a where clause in postgres?

I am trying to build a declared array from all the dogs that share the same family_id and query the dog_characteristics table using the array.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION update_dog_characteristics_guarantor_id()
RETURNS trigger AS $$
DECLARE dog_ids INT[];
BEGIN
SELECT id into dog_ids FROM dogs WHERE dogs.family_id = OLD.id;
IF ((OLD.family_id IS NOT NULL) && ((SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dog_ids) > 0)) THEN
UPDATE
dog_characteristics
SET
guarantor_id = NEW.guarantor_id
WHERE
dog_characteristics.account_id = OLD.account_id
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN ANY(dog_ids);
RETURN NULL;
END IF;
RETURN NULL;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
What I have tried
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id = ANY(dog_ids);
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id = ANY(dog_ids::int[]);
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN (dog_ids::int[]);
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN (dog_ids);
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN (ARRAY(dog_ids));
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN ARRAY(dog_ids);
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id IN implode( ',', dog_ids);
Most common error
ERROR: malformed array literal: "672"
DETAIL: Array value must start with "{" or dimension information.
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function update_dog_characteristics_guarantor_id() line 5 at SQL statement
There are multiple errors in your trigger function.
As dog_ids is declared as an array, the result of the first select has to be an array as well. To do that, you need to aggregate all IDs that are returned from the query.
So the first select statement should be
select array_agg(id) --<< aggregate all IDs into an array
into dog_ids
FROM dogs
WHERE dogs.family_id = OLD.id;
To check if an array has elements, you can't use select count(*), you need to use use array_length() or cardinality().
The && is not the "AND" operator in SQL - that's AND - so the if should be:
IF OLD.family_id IS NOT NULL AND cardinality(dog_ids) > 0 THEN
...
END IF;
The where condition on the array should be:
AND dog_characteristics.dog_id = ANY(dog_ids);

I'm getting an error that my array value must start with "{". My array I'm trying to create is from a view v_data_type the view consist of only one column with a varchar type.
Can anyone please direct me where the issue in my code is?
Thank you in advance
I don't think you've given us enough information to know for certain what's going wrong. Notably, I have no idea what the tables should look like, either in schema or content. Without that, I can't build a test case in my own DB to debug.
That said, I noticed a couple things, specifically around the lTranstype variable:
You're assigning lTranstype twice. First you SELECT INTO it, and then you immediately assign it to a value unpacked from the p_transtype argument. It's not clear to me what you want in that variable.
When constructing your query later, you include and dt.type = any(' || quote_literall(p_transtype) || '). The problem is that p_transtype is a varchar argument, and you're trying to access it like an array. I suspect you want that to read and dt.type = any(' || quote_literall(lTranstype) || '), but I could be mistaken.
I'm guessing that your type error is coming from that second problem, but it seems like you need to reassess what the different variables in this function are intended for. Good luck.

How to access a Row Type within an Array Type in DB2 SQL PL

I have a java front end that has a table of data. We need to save this data to the Database via stored procedure. If the passed parameter is a just an array, I am able to access the contents easily. But if the contents of the array is a also a row type, thats the part im having trouble with.
I dont know how to access the contents of the array.
Im using DB2 10.1
CREATE TABLE "TEST"."CHART_ACCT" (
"ACCT_NO" VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL,
"ACCT_DESC" VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL
)
ORGANIZE BY ROW
DATA CAPTURE NONE
IN "USERSPACE1"
COMPRESS YES ADAPTIVE
VALUE COMPRESSION#
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TEST.ACCT AS ROW ANCHOR ROW OF TEST.CHART_ACCT#
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TEST.ACCT_ARR AS TEST.ACCT ARRAY[]#
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST.TEST_ARRAY (IN P_ACCT_ARR TEST.ACCT_ARR)
P1: BEGIN
-- #######################################################################
-- #
-- #######################################################################
DECLARE i INTEGER;
SET i = 1;
WHILE i < 10 DO
CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(P_GLACCT_ARR[i]);
set i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
END P1#
You need to declare a temporary variable of the row type and assign array elements to it in a loop:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_ARRAY (IN P_ACCT_ARR ACCT_ARR)
P1: BEGIN
DECLARE i INTEGER;
DECLARE v_acct acct;
SET i = 1;
WHILE i < CARDINALITY(p_acct_arr) DO
SET v_acct = p_acct_arr[i];
CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Account number = ' || v_acct.acct_no);
set i = i + 1;
END WHILE;
END P1#
However, a more concise way to do that is to use the collection-derived table reference:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_ARRAY (IN P_ACCT_ARR ACCT_ARR)
P1: BEGIN
FOR r AS (SELECT * FROM UNNEST(p_acct_arr) t ) DO
CALL DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Account number = ' || r.acct_no);
END FOR;
END P1#

TSQL setting XML type as NULL if empty variable

I have a stored procedure that is relying on an IF #awardEmployees IS NOT NULL statement.
I have the variable defined at the top:
#awardEmployees XML = NULL
and then before the statement I am trying to set this:
SET #awardEmployees = NULLIF(#awardEmployees, '')
Which is returning the error:
The data types xml and varchar are incompatible in the equal to operator.
My code sends either an XML string or an empty string based on if anything was entered in the search field so I am trying to set it to NULL if it was empty.
Any other ways to accomplish this?
Use the exist exist() method - it will return 0, representing False, if it returns an empty result:
declare #awardEmployees XML = '<employees><employee><empID>1234</empID></employee></employees>'
IF #awardEmployees.exist('/employees/employee') > 0
BEGIN
print '#awardEmployees IS NOT NULL'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
print '#awardEmployees IS NULL'
END
declare #awardEmployees2 XML = ''
IF #awardEmployees2.exist('/employees/employee') > 0
BEGIN
print '#awardEmployees2 IS NOT NULL'
END
ELSE
BEGIN
print '#awardEmployees2 IS NULL'
END
