It does work:
junk=# select * from ci order by f1;
f1
-----
5
34
45
67
69
123
(6 rows)
junk=# select * from ci where f1 = any ('{34,123,5}') order by
f1;
f1
-----
5
34
123
(3 rows)
In your original function definition, you declared the function as
taking (varchar, varchar). I think that should be (varchar,
varchar[]). If you haven't changed that, you are passing an array of
varchars into a parameter that expects a scalar varchar.
