ARRAY_ANY_MATCH
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
The ARRAY_ANY_MATCH function allows for checking if any of the array elements match a given predicate.
A few SQL dialects, including ClickHouse, DuckDB, and Trino have introduced higher order functions with a lambda syntax to help implement features like this one. jOOQ can map a Java lambda to a SQL lambda, and emulate the feature using standard SQL functionality (using UNNEST and ARRAY_AGG) if the function isn't available.
SELECT array_any_match(ARRAY[1, 2, 2, 3], e -> e > 2)
create.select(arrayAnyMatch(array(1, 2, 2, 3), e -> e.gt(2))).fetch();
The result would look like this:
+-----------------+ | array_any_match | +-----------------+ | true | +-----------------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
arrayAnyMatch(array(1, 2, 2, 3), e -> e.gt(2))
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
Aurora Postgres, CockroachDB, DuckDB, H2, HSQLDB, Postgres
EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM UNNEST(ARRAY[1, 2, 2, 3]) t (e) WHERE e > 2 )
BigQuery
EXISTS (
SELECT 1
FROM (
SELECT null e
FROM UNNEST([STRUCT(1 AS dual)]) AS dual
WHERE FALSE
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM UNNEST(ARRAY[1, 2, 2, 3]) t
) t
WHERE e > 2
)
ClickHouse
arrayExists( e -> e > 2, ARRAY(1, 2, 2, 3) )
Databricks
exists( ARRAY(1, 2, 2, 3), e -> e > 2 )
Trino
any_match( ARRAY[1, 2, 2, 3], e -> e > 2 )
