  • Returns TRUE if any element in the array is TRUE.
  • Returns FALSE if all elements in the array are FALSE or if the array is empty.
  • Returns NULL if any element is NULL and no element is TRUE.
When an optional lambda function is provided, ARRAY_ANY_MATCH applies the function to each element and then evaluates the resulting array. Alias: ANY_MATCH

Syntax

{ ANY_MATCH | ARRAY_ANY_MATCH }([<expression> -> <condition>], <array> [, <array2>, ...])

Parameters

ParameterDescriptionSupported input types
<expression>A lambda function applied to each element of the input arrays, returning a BOOLEAN. If no lambda function is provided, the function can only evaluate a single BOOLEAN array. For more information, see Manipulating arrays with Lambda functions.Same as the element data types of the input arrays.
<condition>A BOOLEAN expression that evaluates each array value using a comparison operator.See Comparison operators.
<array>The array to evaluate.ARRAY

Return Types

The ARRAY_ANY_MATCH function returns a result of type BOOLEAN.

Examples

Example The following code example checks if an array contains the value esimpson as the result is_he_playing. Returns FALSE because the array does not contain the specified value.
SELECT ARRAY_ANY_MATCH(x -> x = 'esimpson', [ 'kennethpark', 'sabrina21', 'steven70']) AS is_he_playing;
is_he_playing boolean
False

Example The following code example checks if each element in the first array is divisible by the corresponding element in the second array in a result labeled divisible. Returns TRUE because at least one element in the first array is divisible by its corresponding element in the second array (45 / 15).
SELECT ARRAY_ANY_MATCH(x, y -> (x % y) = 0, [ 10, 20, 30, 45 ], [ 12, 3, 42, 15]) AS divisible;
divisible boolean
True

Example The following code example evaluates multiple arrays using ARRAY_ANY_MATCH. Returns FALSE for the empty array, TRUE for the [TRUE] array, FALSE for the [FALSE] array, NULL for the [NULL] array, and NULL for the [FALSE, NULL] array.
SELECT ARRAY_ANY_MATCH([]) AS empty, ARRAY_ANY_MATCH([true]) AS single_true, ARRAY_ANY_MATCH([false]) AS single_false, ARRAY_ANY_MATCH([NULL]) AS single_null, ARRAY_ANY_MATCH([false, NULL]) AS false_and_null;
