regression=# select * from t1; id | f1
----+----------- 1 | {1,2} 2 | {0,0,0} 3 | {0,0,0,0} 3 | {1,2,3,0}
(4 rows)
regression=# SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE COALESCE(f1[1],0) = 0 and
COALESCE(f1[2],0) = 0 and COALESCE(f1[3],0) = 0 and COALESCE(f1[4],0) = 0; id | f1
----+----------- 2 | {0,0,0} 3 | {0,0,0,0}
