Interesting. I notice that our version doesn't support multiple-array UNNEST just yet. SELECT * FROM UNNEST(ARRAY[1,2,3,4], ARRAY['hello','world']); ERROR: function unnest(integer[], text[]) does not exist LINE 1: SELECT * FROM UNNEST(ARRAY[1,2,3,4], ARRAY['hello','world'])... ^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. > > SELECT * FROM > UNNEST( ARRAY[5,2,3,4], > ARRAY['hello', 'world'] ) > WITH ORDINALITY AS t(a,b,i); > > a b i > --- ---------- ------ > 5 'hello' 1 > 2 'world' 2 > 3 3 > 4 4 > (4 rows) This looks a lot like an OUTER JOIN on the ORDINALITY column of each of the individual UNNEST...WITH ORDINALITYs. Given that we know the ORDINALITY in advance just by building the arrays, we could optimize this away from FULL JOIN to LEFT (or RIGHT) JOINs. > To implement this it is not just substituting the existing unnest(anyarray) function in multiple times.
