You can use the UNION ALL
operator to merge arrays into a single array while having all their elements included in the final result. Here is an example query:
SELECT array_agg(DISTINCT elems) as merged_array
FROM (
SELECT unnest(array[1,2,3]) as elems
UNION ALL
SELECT unnest(array[4,5,6]) as elems
) subquery
In this example, we have two arrays - [1,2,3]
and [4,5,6]
- and we want to merge them into a single array while keeping all their elements. We first use the unnest()
function to convert each array into a set of rows, with one row per element in the array. We then use the UNION ALL
operator to combine the rows from both arrays into a single table. Finally, we use the array_agg()
function to aggregate all the elements in the table into a single array, and the DISTINCT
keyword to remove any duplicates. The result of this query is a single array [1,2,3,4,5,6]
.
