如何在Postgres中的数组列中舍入每个数组元素？

Question

Say I have a table results that contains a score column that is an array full of scores:

CREATE TABLE results (
  id serial PRIMARY KEY,
  scores numeric[]
);

I would like to update the table so that I round each score to 4 decimal places.

I have created a rounding function round_numeric_array that works for a single array value:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION round_numeric_array (numeric[]) RETURNS numeric[]
LANGUAGE SQL
AS $$
   SELECT array_agg(round(unnest($1), 4))
$$;

But how do I apply it to every value in the table? I've been trying

UPDATE results SET scores = round_numeric_array(scores)

But I get a set-valued function called in context that cannot accept a set error. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Place the unnest() function in the FROM clause:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION round_numeric_array (numeric[]) 
RETURNS numeric[]
LANGUAGE SQL 
AS $$
   SELECT array_agg(round(arr, 4))
   FROM unnest($1) as arr;
$$;
