How to pass an array as param?

Newbie to PG.

Passing the following Query works fine: 'INSERT sessions(all_programs) values(ARRAY[UUID(\'c6dc4514-8e7b-4043-9eb8-c7fd8ad2c306\')]) RETURNING *;'

Is there a way to pass the array of UUID as a param? The following very naive attempt:

const result = (await db.query(
     'INSERT sessions(all_programs) values($1) RETURNING *;'),
     ['ARRAY[UUID(\'c6dc4514-8e7b-4043-9eb8-c7fd8ad2c306\')]']);

Results in an err.

For completeness, the table schema is: CREATE TABLE sessions ( session_uuid UUID PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT uuid_generate_v4(), all_programs UUID ARRAY );

@AxelTerizaki The SQL syntax for foo IN (...) is for an inline values list. You can’t put a parameter in place of the list. Instead, use the array comparison construct ANY:

const ids = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];

const sql = 'DELETE FROM table WHERE id = ANY($1::text[])';
const params = [ids];
client.query(sql, params);

I’d like to reopen this as this is exactly the issue I’m having with a simple :

DELETE FROM table WHERE id IN $1

I pass params like that :

query(myQuery, [ids])

where ids is an array of strings.

What I get in the postgres log (with all statements enabled) is kinda funny :

2021-04-19 18:53:02.304 CEST [16576] ERREUR:  erreur de syntaxe sur ou près de « $1 » au caractère 35
2021-04-19 18:53:02.304 CEST [16576] INSTRUCTION :  
	DELETE FROM kara WHERE pk_kid IN $1;

Sorry the log is in french but it’s basically “syntax error on or near $1 at character 35”

It’s almost as if the query wasn’t being parameterized

It works if instead of passing $1 I manually do something dirty like this :

const kidList = JSON.stringify(kids).replace('[','(').replace(']',')').replace(/"/g, '\'');

I’m using node-postgres 8.6.0.

The snippet I posted above is working for me as a workaround, but it’s kind of messy and I wonder why this isn’t working even though it should.
