ARRAY_REMOVE_AT¶

Given a source ARRAY, returns an ARRAY with the element at the specified position removed.

For example, ARRAY_REMOVE_AT([2, 5, 7], 0) returns an ARRAY with the element at position 0 removed ([5, 7]).

Syntax¶

ARRAY_REMOVE_AT( <array> , <position> )
Copy

Arguments¶

array

The source array.

position

The (zero-based) position of the element to be removed. The function removes the element at this position.

A negative position is interpreted as an index from the back of the array (e.g. -1 removes the last element in the array).

Returns¶

An ARRAY with the element at the specified position removed.

If position is NULL, the function returns NULL.

Usage notes¶

  • If the absolute value of position exceeds the length of array, the function returns array without any elements removed.

Examples¶

The following example returns an ARRAY with elements with the first element removed.

SELECT ARRAY_REMOVE_AT(
  [2, 5, 7],
  0);
Copy
+-------------------------------+
| ARRAY_REMOVE_AT([2, 5, 7], 0) |
|-------------------------------|
| [                             |
|   5,                          |
|   7                           |
| ]                             |
+-------------------------------+

The following example returns an ARRAY with elements with the last element removed.

SELECT ARRAY_REMOVE_AT(
  [2, 5, 7],
  -1);
Copy
+--------------------------------+
| ARRAY_REMOVE_AT([2, 5, 7], -1) |
|--------------------------------|
| [                              |
|   2,                           |
|   5                            |
| ]                              |
+--------------------------------+

In the following example, position is greater than the length of the ARRAY, so the function returns the ARRAY without making any changes.

SELECT ARRAY_REMOVE_AT(
  [2, 5, 7],
  10);
Copy
+------------------+
| ARRAY_REMOVE_AT( |
|   [2, 5, 7],     |
|   10)            |
|------------------|
| [                |
|   2,             |
|   5,             |
|   7              |
| ]                |
