Arrays
PostgreSQL® provides robust support for array data types as column types, function arguments and criteria in where clauses. There are several ways to create arrays with pgJDBC.
The java.sql. Connection.createArrayOf(String, Object[])
can be used to create an java.sql. Array
from Object[] instances (Note: this includes both primitive and object multi-dimensional arrays).
A similar method org.postgresql.PGConnection.createArrayOf(String, Object) provides support for primitive array types.
The java.sql.Array object returned from these methods can be used in other methods, such as
PreparedStatement.setArray(int, Array)
.
The following types of arrays support binary representation in requests and can be used in PreparedStatement.setObject
| Java Type | Supported binary PostgreSQL® Types | Default PostgreSQL® Type |

short[] , Short[] | int2[] | int2[] |
int[] , Integer[] | int4[] | int4[] |
long[] , Long[] | int8[] | int8[] |
float[] , Float[] | float4[] | float4[] |
double[] , Double[] | float8[] | float8[] |
boolean[] , Boolean[] | bool[] | bool[] |
