ARRAY_REPLACE
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The ARRAY_REPLACE function allows for replacing all occurrences of an element by another value in an array:
SELECT array_replace(ARRAY[1, 2, 2, 3], 2, -1)
create.select(arrayReplace(array(1, 2, 2, 3), val(2), val(-1))).fetch();
The result would look like this:
+----------------+ | array_replace | +----------------+ | [1, -1, -1, 3] | +----------------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
arrayReplace(array(1, 2, 2, 3), val(2), val(-1))
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

FROM UNNEST([STRUCT(1 AS dual)]) AS dual
WHERE FALSE
UNION ALL
