Array parameter

[Hugo Larson]

Hi,

Why this does not work? The parameter is not an actual ARRAY but rather values

String vals = {1,2,3,4,5...}

SELECT * FROM PRODUCT WHERE PRODUCT.ID IN (:ARRAY)

Array array = statement.getConnection().createArrayOf("varchar", vals );

statement.setArray("ARRAY", array);

There are basically two reasons: Jaybird doesn't support `setArray` (in
fact, it doesn't support arrays at all), and even if it did, Firebird
doesn't support arrays in `IN` (in fact, arrays are hardly usable at all
in DSQL and PSQL).

A year ago there was some talk[1] about even deprecating and eventually
removing array support from Firebird entirely, though for now the
decision is to keep the status quo.

At this point of time, I myself won't add array support to Jaybird. Both
the Firebird and JDBC parts are pretty complex, and given the limited
usability of arrays in Firebird, I don't want to invest time and energy
in it.

I might consider pull requests providing an implementation of arrays[2],
but that wouldn't help with this particular case.

In the meantime, I'd recommend looking at alternative solutions, like
[3] and [4] (though some of this solutions will not work in Firebird).

I suggest reading my answer at https://stackoverflow.com/a/43997801/976391

It may help you think out another approach to the task
