PostgreSQL: Issue with passing array to procedure

Question

I have a type as:

CREATE TYPE status_record AS
   (
   id bigint,
   status boolean
   );

A procedure that does some processing with an arr

Answer 1

Use an array literal (text representation of the array), since the array constructor ARRAY[...] has to be evaluated by Postgres:

SELECT update_status('{"(1,t)","(2,f)"}'::status_record[]);

Maybe even without the explicit cast:

SELECT update_status('{"(1,t)","(2,f)"}');

There were similar cases on SO before:

• Pass array from node-postgres to plpgsql function
• How to pass custom type array to Postgres function

Answer 2

Try to put the array and type initialization into a string, maybe you can then get around the problems with the obfuscation layer (aka ORM):

select update_status(cast('{"(1,true)", "(2,false)"}' as status_record[]));

I don't know Hibernate, so I can't tell if that will work.
