HSQLDB ANY array function not working


I have a table like this

CREATE TABLE inlist_test_table (
    id  NUMERIC(5) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
    val VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);

I'm executing the following query

SELECT val
FROM inlist_test_table
WHERE id = ANY(?)
ORDER BY id

Using this code

try (var connection = this.dataSource.getConnection();
     var preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement(this.getQuery())) {
  var array = connection.createArrayOf("smallint", new Object[] {3, 5});
  try {
    preparedStatement.setArray(1, array);

    List<String> values = new ArrayList<>(2);
    try (var resultSet = preparedStatement.executeQuery()) {
      while (resultSet.next()) {
        values.add(resultSet.getString(1));
      }
    }
    assertEquals(Arrays.asList("Value_00003", "Value_00005"), values);
  } finally {
    array.free();
  }
}

I expect rows with id 3 and 5 to be returned. Instead I'm getting the following exception:

I am using HSQLDB 2.4.1. The same code is working for Postgres and H2.

Edit 1

SELECT val
FROM inlist_test_table
WHERE id IN ( UNNEST(?) )
ORDER BY id

Does not work as only the row with id 3 (the first element in the array) is matched and row with id 5 (the second element in the array) is not matched.

Edit 2

Changing the column type from NUMERIC(5) to int makes the UNNEST code work even if the array element type is smallint.


Solution

  • With HSQLDB you need to use

    ... WHERE id IN ( UNNEST(?) ) ...
    

    As of version 2.4.1 there appears to be an issue when the column is NUMERIC(5) and the array is smallint. That will likely be fixed in a future release of HSQLDB.
