Question

Hey guys i am trying to run this query in my postgres db but it returns an error: [Err] ERROR: syntax error at or near “,”
LINE 13: and not substr(a.zoneiddest , 1 ,3) = any (‘254′,’255’,’256’…

The query is like this

SELECT
    to_char(a.CALLDATE, 'yyyymm') AS month,
    min(a.calldate) AS start_time,
    max(a.calldate) AS end_time,
    ceil(SUM(a.CALLDURATION::INT) / 60) AS minutes,
    COUNT(DISTINCT a.IDENTIFIANT) AS distinct_callers,
    a.zoneiddest AS country_code,
    b.country
FROM cdr_data a,
    country_codes b
WHERE a.CALLSUBCLASS = '002'
  AND a.CALLCLASS = '008'
  AND a.zoneiddest::INT > 0
  AND SUBSTR(a.CALLEDNUMBER, 1, 2) NOT IN
    ( '77', '78', '75', '70', '71', '41', '31', '39', '76', '79' )
  AND NOT substr(a.zoneiddest, 1, 3) = ANY
    ( '254', '255','256', '211', '257', '250', '256' )
  AND trim(a.zoneiddest) = trim(b.country_code)
GROUP BY
    to_char(a.CALLDATE, 'yyyymm'),
    a.zoneiddest,
    b.country
ORDER BY 1

This same query works well in oracle with just a small minor change on a.zoneiddest::integer > 0 to just a.zoneiddest > 0

What could i be doing wrong

Answer 1

Try using keyword any combine with parameter array like this:

= any (ARRAY['254','255','256','211','257','250','256'])
